We loved it! Loved coming back to the apartment at the end of the day. Definitely recommended if you just want the REAL city living.
We cooked most of our meals so definitely kitchen equipped. Had to bring some of our own things to cook but not bad.
One little note is the bed! I don't what it was but we slept so well.
Very responsive host! Never worried about that. Always replied within 30 mins or less for us.
The best way to describe this apartment is if you REALLY want to see what it's like living near the city, this is a good example. I see people saying the area is sketchy. Could be because its not the "prettiest" area, but it just looked like another city neighborhood to us. It's not the brownstones in Brooklyn or Bleecker street in the village. It's a regular city neighborhood. My husband and I didn't feel unsafe at all. In fact, everyone we encountered were nice! We are both originally from Jersey, but still, I feel the area is safe.
We were very lucky with parking. Found a spot on the street each night, but it is hard to find one. Very minimal parking, but, again, we lucked out. Keep in mind it's parallel parking. Also, keep in mind the street cleaning days/hours. But it's easy as long as you follow the signs!
We saw a Broadway show on both Friday and Saturday night. Commute was about 45-50 min from the apartment (we drove) but the PATH isn't far from the place and can take you up to 33rd street. Yes driving is a pain but, again, it's the city, so we expected that.
Overall, we loved it and are definitely interested in staying again, as we visit Jersey City often.
