I enjoyed my stay at Ray's studio very much. It was very clean and well organized. I loved the little touches - like the Einstein mural on the fridge!
Also, it's in a cool Portuguese neighborhood with many wonderful restaurants (I spent a summer in Lisbon in the 80's, so I've had my share of great Portuguese food. I ate so well on this trip! Check out fresh grilled sardines at nearby Portugalia!).
Penn Station is also nearby for an easy commute into NYC.
Best of all, Ray is a wonderful host. We never met but talked on the phone. She has a calm and warm voice. I felt instantly welcomed.
It's a wonderful AirBNB. However, I would be careful if you have severe asthma or sensitivity to mold and come to NJ during a humid time of the year. The studio is in the basement. It's extremely clean (no signs of mold) and has a big fan and even a humidifier. But I live in a much drier climate and felt some mild irritation to my respiratory system.
I don't think the problem was with the studio but more my constitution - and would encourage most folks to check out this gem.
If, however, you're unusually sensitive to dampness, you may want to find another place to stay (which would be a drag, because it's such a nice place!). I grew up in the Chicago area but forgot how dampness can affect me after living the last 15 years in Arizona and drought stricken Texas!
