The enormous comfortable bed and well-appointed bathroom are highlights at Simone’s Jersey City apartment.
Easy walk to Journal Square PATH train station and a quick 3 stop trip to WTC and downtown Manhattan.
The apartment has an eclectic studio feel to it which is described in the listing.
We were surprised that the piano shown in the listing was out of bounds, as it was one of the reasons we booked Simone’s apartment.
Having considerable experience in Airbnb around the world, we were also surprised at the repeated instruction that we would strip the bed, put out the laundry and take out the trash, particularly given the size of the cleaning fee.
This is what you do when you are house-sitting, not when you are paying guests.
If this is part of the deal, put it in the house rules in the listing so that guests know what to expect.
That being said, we had a small maintenance issue which Simone addressed immediately.
