Ok, location is a bit out there. 16 minute walk (if you're not driving) to the NJT which is NBD, but the trains schedule left little to be desired, along with the $14 round trip ticket which I did daily for work.
The ride was overall quick and painless.
I initially booked because I thought the Path was close. To my surprise it wasn't. I think my wires got crossed viewing different places when deciding where to stay.
The neighbourhood is quiet and felt generally safe. There's a food market close when you get off of the train.
There's a new laundromat 9 minutes away since the machine in the apartment was not accessible to guests.
My room was great! Big, lovely and comfortable bed, with a fridge in the room (great for introverts like me, looking to stay in their room). I was very pleased with that. I couldn't complain as far as that goes. Overall quiet stay minus the room adjacent to me with thin walls. The people that stayed in that room were each a bit noisy late at night and there was a constant knocking sound. I wasn't sure if it was furniture or just the guest being annoying after I requested the host tell them to settle the noise @ 10 p.m. which is one of the house rules.
Communication was a bit lacking as far as response time and wording. When I requested the host tell the guest to simmer down, he thanked me for the feedback!? It was a request, not feedback. The host did fulfill my request however. My request for A/C being turned on was 50/50. It was often warm at night given the temperature outside not being entirely average for the season. My first request was answered. After that, nothing was really said and the room remained hot making it a little tough to sleep depending on the air outside. Luckily, my last night there it happened to be cool out. When I first arrived, I had asked if there was a fan. Never heard back about that.
Bathroom was clean enough. A handheld shower head would have been nice, but not a huge deal.
Overall, a pleasant stay. If you don't mind the distance/commute if you need to be in the city, or the $14 round trip ticket, then this is the place. Quiet, chill with lots of room.
