What guests say
Reviews repeatedly emphasize the standout location: easy access to the PATH for quick trips into Manhattan and a walkable neighborhood with plenty to do nearby. Guests also mention responsive host communication and comfort in at least one bed. Common drawbacks include interior layout and furnishing concerns, such as rooms feeling crowded and a low living-room light fixture that can be easy to bump into. Practical comfort and usability issues are also noted, including very steep stairs/handrail concerns and inadequate bathroom storage, plus complaints about uncomfortable, noisy bunk-bed mattresses.
