Me and my boyfriend stayed at Josephine’s place due to the great reviews, the awesome value and the clean look.
For the most part, we enjoyed our stay but there were a couple things I would say needs improvement. Josephine was unable to get us checked in until 6:30PM. Our flight arrived at 1:00PM which was fine because we wanted to explore the city anyway. We ended up getting to her home late, though, due a train malfunction which lasted nearly an hour. When we finally arrived around 9PM, we were not greeted even though she knew the reason we were late in checking and could not help much with the already late check-in time.
We had little to no contact with her afterward except this one instance where my boyfriend went outside to smoke and left the keys inside. A man who I was never introduced to knocked on the door and asked if I had another guest with me. I told him yes. He said “Well, go look at this guy outside and see if that’s him.” I peeked downstairs and confirmed it was my boyfriend. The man then commanded I go downstairs and let him in. I did not appreciate this at all. He then begins to chastise my boyfriend about not taking the keys with him and not locking the door (he was standing right outside in the driveway so what was the issue?...).
The place was also far from Manhattan. But it was clean, spacious and a quiet community which was much appreciated after the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. All in all, it was a decent stay with some bumps in the road.
