Hassan and Rania are helpful and attentive hosts. We stayed two weeks for a Covid quarantine so we had lots of opportunity to really get to know the space and the neighborhood. When we needed groceries, Hassan insisted on driving us in his own vehicle to the store where they shop. When we needed to do laundry, they took us to their favorite laundromat. When we needed recommendations for hair cuts and nail salons , they made suggestions. When there were problems with the WiFi and cable they worked hard to get replacement equipment - and get it set up and working - which was very important while we worked from our home away from home. We've stayed at several AirBnB properties in the US and Europe. Hassan and Rania are the best hosts we've had!
As for the apartment itself, the property was built in 1909 and has the quirks of a building that is over 100 years old. The floors are not perfectly level, A/C is window units - one of which blows toward the gas stove so you have to watch that. Minor inconveniences.
We were there in the summer so we wandered around almost every day. This inner-city neighborhood itself is filled with an active and diverse population. There is a couple of basketball courts right next door which are very active (and sometimes kind of noisy) in the evenings and on weekends. A small playground for little kids is about three houses away. Bayside Park is a bigger park and is 2 blocks away. There are small bodegas at either end of the street. Bigger grocery stores are quite a hike if you are walking. We only had a rental car for a few days during our two week stay. Mostly we took public transportation to get around. Bus stops are a block away. The Hudson-Bergen light rail line has a station that is about an 8 minute walk away through Bayside Park park. Uber has lots of cars in the area. Our longest wait for a car to show up may have been 8 minutes.
There is one thing that is not mentioned in the description. Hassan has a pigeon coop behind the house. He loves his birds, but if a neighborhood cat is stalking the area they can be surprisingly noisy. All in all, this is place we would recommend for value-conscious travelers.
