My friend and I stayed in Harriet and Harry’s apartment for five months during our study abroad program. I’ll start by saying that we did find the flat very cozy and comfortable for two students like us, the kitchen, the bathroom and the rooms were all well equipped. The location was ok, 30 mins walk to Hoboken, which was quite enjoyable on sunny days and then only 15 mins to NYC.
Having said this, during one of our last weeks in the apartment, Harry came to us complaining that we had a few guests during these 5 months and that we were staying in their house, not a hotel. Now, I would like to specify this: we ALWAYS paid them for the extra person, as it says on their Airbnb page, where they clearly say the apartment can accomodate up to 4 guests and we were never more than 3 people at the same time in the flat. We NEVER had “outsiders” stay overnight and we were always respectful of the rules they told us. So being told that “We weren’t honest with them” or “They wouldn’t have taken us if they knew” made me and my flatmate feel very unwelcome during our last weeks, which we weren’t expecting at all from the amazing reviews we read on here...
