Stayed two nights with a gap in between due to attending a wedding in NJ.
Pros:
The studio is on a good location. Walking distance to many stores, restaurants, and public transportation.
Reached out to the host about adjusting our stay, and she was able to accommodate us.
The rear basement studio space is cute. Decent sized chest for clothing storage.
Cons:
Cozy could describe this space. If you are an oversized adult, you may have some issues with utilizing the bathroom. The sink was set into a deeply recessed space that was only approximately 18” across. Washing your hands will be a challenge.
And as should be expected with staying in a basement apartment, you can hear the field and track competition upstairs during the day. Luckily all we did was sleep there. There was Netflix on the TV, but it was set to Spanish and we were unable to change it to English or even log out of it.
Tried logging into the wifi, but after waiting several hours for a response, we were finally informed that the network had changed.
Communication and response time from the host was terrible. There were numerous messages sent requesting information, and took several hours to get a response. Some messages even went unanswered. Thank goodness it wasn’t an emergency.
One day prior to check-in we were told the space needed emergency maintenance and wouldn’t be available, but she had another space at the same location. The second space was smaller than the first.
Second space didn’t have any paper products. We were told there would be some, but they never arrived.
In conclusion, the space served its purpose for quick visit to NY/NJ. Definitely not one of our better experiences, and we would NOT stay there again. If you just need a space to sleep and shower, then this is for you. If you’re staying more than two nights, it’s not that accommodating.
