As the first guests in a newly refurbished condo, we got the royal treatment with a gift basket, personal greeting and tour of the space from Christian, the site manager. My wife and I stayed four days and found the unit very comfortable, safe, secure, quiet and in a great neighborhood, close to restaurants, coffee shops, groceries and liquor stores. Though we didn’t take the Path to NYC on this trip, having it so close is a big plus (just 1 ½ blocks from the Grove St station).
The tasteful design blends the old wood parquet floors and moldings in the living and dining rooms with new tile and wood floors in the kitchen, bath and bedroom, with attractive coordinated colors. The recent upgrade is done with quality materials and appliances, including full size washer and dryer. Kitchen is compact and furnished with the basics in utensils and condiments. Coffee maker and extra filters were appreciated. Bathroom had towels and towel heater, good supplies of soap, shampoo/conditioner and toilet paper.
Bedroom was large and queen bed comfortable with both a light blanket and heavier comforter. Plentiful closet hanging and storage area with 2 luggage racks. There is no TV or music device in the unit.
The neighborhood is all 3-4 story walkups with people walking by at all hours. Don’t let the rough appearance of the front façade of this unit put you off, inside the condo is very comfortable, well furnished and in a great location. Note for those with limited mobility—there are six steps up to front entrance from sidewalk and the bed is a bit high off the floor. Though we didn’t have a car, it appeared difficult to find a parking spot. The manager was attentive and communicated well. We will certainly try to stay here again when we return to Jersey City.
