I’m from Jersey City and I know the area well. The location for the price of the rental is a little overpriced- especially for the safety of the neighborhood and the safety of a basement apartment in that neighborhood. I felt a little vulnerable. There was no soap in the apartment at all- hand soap, dish soap or bath soap. I took a shower with just water because I didn’t bring my own soap. Which was a little frustrating. I would have liked to know that I needed to bring utensils (knives especially) because their wasn’t any. One of the big excitements about this place for me was the outdoor space and grill, but we couldn’t use it because none of the lights were working on the patio and it was pitch black by 7pm. Some of the lights in the apartment weren’t working either. Over all cute place, Netflix and very private. Andrene was also a great communicator and was very helpful.
