1)The owner telling me how to find his apartment. 2)It didn't have the view as the picture on the web (before booking the apartment) showed.

I've booked a room with 2 beds where it was told that there is queensize bed and also one bunk bed. But there was only queensize bed with mattress underneath it. It caused some inconveniences and my colleague had to book another room. So update description of the room.

Good place to stay for one or two nights! You can easily to get to NY by bus and also some nice restaurants were located nearby. Room was big and clean. Host was really nice.

Stayed in May 2025

When I arrived, the shared bathroom was dirty. I contacted the host, but never received a response. I would suggest finding a strategy to keep the bathroom clean. Plus, I didn’t like the fact that I didn’t receive any response at all: the host should always be available in case some issues happen.

Great location: the bus stop is just a few minutes from the house. Times Square can be reached in 15 minutes. When booking, keep in mind that the New Jersey–New York trip will cost you around €4 one way. I found the room clean and the bed comfortable.

There is a damp smell coupled with cigarette smell in the corridor; the entire house needs to be aired. The room does not have TV, there was no breakfast provided. I didn't notice ironing supplies(like iron or iron board) but I didn't ask either. Might be more my fault; I thought I booked a private bathroom but it seems like (now that I am checking my reservation again) it was a private kitchen and shared bathroom. However neither of the two was private. I shared all with 2-7 more people through out my time there.

Jimmy was quite helpful and responsive. He directed me on where to park; how to get in. When I had issue in the space, he was responsive and resolved quickly. There is a washer and dryer with supplies to allow you do your laundry. The kitchen is equipped to make quick meals. There's water filter for drinking. There's sufficient wardrobe to organize my things. The room had a lock. The house is close to HBLR station so it is quite easy to get to Manhattan. The neighborhood is quite and safe. The internet was good.

far away from the NYC center, but there is a bus connection some people can dislike the fact that you can meet another people

good price nice and quiet place to stay pleasant neighborhood great communication with the owner about the late check in even though it is a common accomodation, you can lock your own room and have your own keys for as long as you stay

Small discussion in the beginning with reception regarding what needs to be paid additionnaly (access to gym etc.). We thought this was additionally above booking price, however reception forgot to tell us that only a % of the total booking price was already charged upfront. No issues thus. Booking price = Final price

Clean and quiet rooms Everyday new towels Friendly staff Good location, safe neighbourhood.

The parking wasn’t very clear so we had the risk to park at the street because they never confirmed a reservation, answered too late. The bathroom wasn’t that comfortable

The location was good. The room was ok I liked the mirror in the room for make up

Stayed in October 2024

It was near the bus stop to go to NYC It had plenty of daily use items, sanitary, snacks, and quick meals etc….

Stayed in November 2024

• The room has no window and no ventilation • There’s an unpleasant smell in the room, likely why there are many air fresheners, but they don’t help much • High noise level when people use the stairs • No rules for using common areas, so other guests may make noise in the kitchen late at night • We were given only one towel for two people, and when I messaged the manager, I received no response • Only one bathroom for all rooms, so if someone has recently showered, there might not be enough hot water for you

• Nice, quiet neighborhood • Only two minutes to the bus stop for Manhattan • Clean kitchen • Common areas seem to be cleaned daily • Cozy room

It’s was cold in the room, there was no heating

Safe and quiet neighbourhood. Close to the bus stop, takes around 20-30 min to the Port Authority Bus Station. Room is little bit smaller that in the picture. But equipped with everything necessary in the room, kitchen and bathroom. Nice and kind owner, offers tea/coffee

Stayed in November 2024

Very good quality-price ratio. The kitchen is very well equipped.

Stayed in November 2024

The room was smaller than I expected. It isn't a huge bother if you planned to be away from the property and site seeing.

The host was good and made check in and out very convenient, giving local recommendations. The kitchen has all amenities and the house is clean.

Stayed in October 2024

The kitchen started to get a bit dirty, but that was because of the other guests that had no sense of a shared space, not the ower's fault. Since the house is in Jersey, we had to take a bus to get to NY. This bus is not included in the Metrocard, so the week or mothly pass doesn't work and you have to pay almost 4 dollars extra to go and come back from Manhattan. But we knew that when we made the reservation and all the infos regarding the location were transparent. So, again, not the ower's or the property's fault.

Very nice bedroom and private bathroom, both clean and organized. The kitchen was well equiped and we also had access to a washing machine. They provided coffee, cereal and pasta for free. The neighborhood was quiet.

Breakfast was only cheap cereal. We had to buy our own milk. No toast available - no bread, no spreads. No coffee, just herbal teas. Found a freshly opened bag of coffee on the last day but there was no appliance to make coffee with it, just a pod machine with no pods. The microwave oven was filthy; I left the glass turntable in the sink for cleaning, but the mother of one of the other tenants washed it and it was placed back inside the dirty oven. Very little cutlery to use. Bathroom: we assumed we could use the bathroom on the second floor where our bedroom was. This bathroom was dirty and had urine all over the toilet seat and floor which I had to clean up. The landlord never specified we should use the downstairs bathroom. This was cleaner but the bath mats in both bathrooms were filthy and never changed over the 5 days we were there. No bin in our bedroom. No TV. No soundproofing. No curtains, blinds were broken, outside lights in backyard stayed on all night and there was no switch. Co-tenants were noisy, (drinking at 2am, stomping up and down stairs at 3am), left brown phlegm in the basin of the downstairs bathroom. The 'garden' at the back was just weeds growing through the pavers and was littered with beer bottles, cans & rubbish. The hallway was dirty. Apparently there was a daily cleaner however washing was left in both the machine and dryer every day. I dried and folded a load of linen for them so we could use the machines. After the first day, I wrote six messages to Jimmy about some of the above matters and received no response until the day of checking out. No subway from NJ to Manhattan and trains were on strike. We used buses which were hit and miss. The last bus back was 10pm. This was always packed and we often had to stand. This commute added 1-2 hours to each day, so it was hardly "mins away from midtown New York". It's not an apartment, more like a shared house with some inconsiderate strangers.

Room was spacious, plenty of hanging space in wardrobe. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Use of washing machine and dryer. There was free wifi - despite the ad saying no internet was available.

Stayed in May 2025

Noisy stairs, everytime somebody is using them, it is impossible to sleep.Thin walls, if somebody making tea, it is like next to your ear. Very good experience to read every single description after this stay.

Probably my own mistake too not to read everything in details, however, if you are looking for a place where you can comfortable rest, this is not the one. If you are looking for a hostel then it might be right place to rent.

The bathroom was disgusting, the room smelled bad, the room wasn’t ready when we got there, very loud.

That it was close to restaurants and bus stops

There were unfinished areas to the house i was told was not included in the rental, but i needed to cross those areas to get to my bedroom.. Not the advertised corner room with view. Shared bathroom, more expensive than full apt for the same price. I spent one night and had to rent an entirely different place with no refund after expressing my concerns to the host. Other persons rented rooms that were so close to mine we could hear each other's conversations.

The location

Everything was excellent, no complaints.

Jimmy was so accommodating. He went above board to be of assistance when checking in and throughout the stay.
