So first off! Not a single problem with the room. Cozy! Clean! Plenty of blankets. Smelled nice. Had more than enough of the things we would probably consider necessities. You’re underneath the hosts of the Airbnb and so you may hear them walking around, maybe leaving or coming back home kind of thing but it isn’t loud and it didn’t bother us at all. The shower head was amazing and the restroom was clean. Comfy living room area with a tv and kitchen, didn’t really use or hang out in this area but it was nice. They had end tables and a big dresser and plenty of shelves, which I like because you can set your stuff on like phones wallet glasses keys etc. You share the entrance with the guests and that’s about it. The stairs going up is their space and down stairs is where you go. They let you know that and there wasn’t any issue with privacy at all with that small area ‘technically’ being shared. They have a full body mirror on the way out so you can check your outfit one last time before leaving lol. I thought that was nice. There’s a Walgreens with in walking distance and some food options as well. Gas stations. A pretty convenient area overall I’d say, which brings me to my next topic!
We stayed here while visiting NY and tbh it wasn’t that bad of a commute. We would walk to the train station (the Path train which is the train in NJ) it was maybe about a 10-15 minute walk. They don’t even really check wether or not you paid your fare on the Path train but it was inexpensive. Like 2 bucks a person maybe. You take a train to a transit center that has subways and then from there you can take the NY Subways that lead you into the city. It’s about 45 mins to an hour to do all of that depending on where you’re headed to in the city so keep that in mind. When riding the subways we just loaded up a metro card with like 30 bucks or so. It’s like 2.75 a person and you just swipe every time you take the subway. If you plan on using Uber Lyft or taking a cab tho that’s a little more costly of course. From the LaGuardia airport to here it was about 90 bucks. So once we were ready to leave from the city for the day, we would hop on the subway, then back to the path and then from there, Uber back so it would be a little cheaper. All in all, great stay! And both an awesome experience and Airbnb!
