Ted and Mavis place was great stay for stay for me. They are very flexible to accommodate earlier or late check-in. Both host live there so you get responses and help very promptly. Amenities are are at a 5☆ Hotel level. (Only thing you will need to bring ie tooth brush n paste) They have a linen closet with extra everyday items so you dont even have to call when you need a new towel or sheets. Coffee machine was perfect, tasted fresh so I'm sure it's new or cleaned often. Be careful to get on Couch or beds, you might never get out, best one is definitely master bedroom bed, I accidentally laid on it when i first got there and woke up the next day. House is old but somehow dodged the crazy creaking stairs problem and home overall doesn't creak much. The main door and stairs are that's shown is basically your private entrance, host have access to it but they never use it. Bathroom and main bedroom have locks on inside or the door. Almost no wait for hot water so no need to prep it beforehand. Location is a better to come from Journal Square [PATH] train if traveling using public transportation. Overall if you have doubts booking.. Ted and Mavis really put effort into being great host, you will not regret booking with them.
Non-smoking but not 100% like other places. As long as you quiet down stairs and talk a walk. I found a couple benches near a main road about 500 feet from the home. When leaving the house make a left down the small hill and then right. Walk a bit you will the see 5 or so benches on your right next to a new modern building. 👍 (personal advise that's help me for a long time.. spray yourself with a fragrance if you do it often before coming back in. If you don't.. you might stink the house up and worst case, get hit with fee)
