Dena was available and willing to help. Her instructions were clear and she was quick to respond. We had a nice stay!
The place is tidy, relatively clean, and quiet. The location is a 20 min walk from Journal Square (then a 10 min train ride into the city) and a 3 min walk from the bus stop, which comes every ~30 mins and takes about 35 mins to get to the city (it costs $4.5 per trip). If you want to get to NYC quick, it requires planning ahead, as the buses aren’t very frequent and you need to purchase tickets via the NJ transit app. The location is somewhat safe, though it is a few minutes away from a busy street, so I wouldn’t feel comfortable walking around alone in the evening. Additionally, when we came home one evening, the main door was left unlocked (which is the only door that can be locked), which was a little bit concerning. Luckily, all our personal items were safe. It’s something worth clarifying before/at the beginning of your stay!
Overall, I think it is a good place for short-term visitors just looking for a space to crash for a night or two. I’d bring your own water (there’s no filter/Brita), drinks (tea, milk), snacks, and toothpaste. Towels and other toiletries were provided.
Thanks for the lovely stay Dena!
