My group of 4 friends and I arrived to Yoku place around 3:00pm on Friday. During that time we were allowed to park on the street overnight and directly in front of the house. There are street regulations to be mindful of, that will probably be the only con about parking in the neighborhood.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by Yoku herself to receive the house key and a mini house tour. Once entered, you are greeted by the living room which did have a functional TV with cable provided, two couches, bright windows and functional ac/heater conditioner. To the left, is the stainless steel finished kitchen with basic utensils, a stove top oven, microwave, refrigerator, and an extendable table with extra chairs. One thing the kitchen didn’t have that we were looking for was a cutting board but it did have knives available. Walking down the hallway, is the bathroom with a bathtub and shower. Down the hallway, is the master bedroom and one single bedroom. Underneath each bed, an extra mattress was provided for additional guest. In total, those four beds could potentially fit 8 people if shared among 2 each. Overall, the house is spacious and it has everything a house should basically have.
The neighborhood itself did look shady at first glance with a construction site next to the house and a warehouse couple houses down. However, this did not affect our Airbnb home for the night. Yoku’s house did look brighter, tidier and spacious compared the the surrounding houses. There is a good-looking playground across the street and the liberty science center is close by. I would recommend this Airbnb for guest looking to stay around the area, especially Hoboken.
