Jie’s place has a nice quality to price ratio. It is cheap for long stays and the location is pretty good. With the path metro we could go almost everywhere we wanted without having to change lines. It could take us from Newark airport to the Empire State Building on 33rd street.
The neighborhood around the station isn’t the best but the apartment itself (15min walk from the station) is fine. The listing says third floor but there are only 2 flights of stairs to take. The self check in was easy and convenient.
Jie was very responsive to our messages and even had a new vacuum cleaner delivered to the apartment when we told him we needed one.
A couple of downsides: the cleanliness, lack of silverware (only 2 forks for 3 people), the heating which is managed by the building and was either out or extremely hot, a couple à power outages due to the portable heaters having too high as voltage.
Overall the apartment was convenient. For longer stays, no more than two people but for short stays the apartment could fit up to 6 people if needed.
