The stay was quite good. A room in a beautiful, old house with lots to see everywhere and a very, very polite and friendly host who helped me carrying my baggage all the way up to the room. The room is beautiful, although it is a bit small (if you are traveling with clothes for a 3 weeks trip like me for example), also it gets really cold in the night and there is no heat. But with the extra blankets and warm clothes to sleep it is ok, although I wish I was better prepared for that).
The shared bathroom wasn’t a problem in general, but there was one evening when I wanted to shower and there was water and soap spread all around the sink and floor (I can’t tell, but I assume this was another guest) which I was upset about because usually i‘d like to be in a clean bathroom and also keep it clean since I’m a guest there.
In general, good stay, just a few minutes from downtown NY away and quite good if you want to explore NJ/NY.
