The room and the house itself are very nice, but the location is a bit crap.

It's about 15 minutes by bus (or 30 minutes walking) to downtown Jersey City, then another 15 minutes to get to Manhattan. Add on transfer times and a subway ride in Manhattan, I generally spent more than an hour travelling each way.

The neighbourhood is a bit rough. It was absolutely fine during the day, but it's not the sort of place where you want to be wandering around at night.
