We stayed in the apartment for two weeks. The apartment was exactly as described and depicted in the photos. Everything was clean and in good working order. A tip—which we only discovered after a few days: there is a free bus service available. You can flag the bus down to stop right at the front door (the "Blue Hop"). It runs to the Hoboken PATH station every half hour. There is also bus line 126, which goes to the PABT (Port Authority Bus Terminal) right near Times Square. It is very inexpensive! Senior and student fares are available. The two apps for this are Passio Go! (enter "Hoboken" in the search bar) and the NJ Transit mobile app.You can track the buses in real time using these apps.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The photos accurately represent the interior of the unit and was furnished as described. The apartment appeared generally clean and inviting; however, the couch and dining chair upholstery could benefit from cleaning, and the ironing board cover was stained.Communication before arrival could be improved. We were advised that the address, directions, parking instructions, and key information would be sent 1-2 days before check-in but did not receive them until I contacted the host at check-in. Several blinds had broken slats, and two would not fully lower over windows adjacent to the fire escape, creating privacy concerns at night. The deadbolt did not appear secure. Part of the wood surrounding the lock broke away when the door was opened. The building's interior common areas were dirty and poorly maintained.The cleaning expectations were confusing. Rules state that additional fees may be charged for an "unreasonable mess" and that "This is NOT a hotel," but no checkout instructions were provided, leaving us to guess what was expected beyond leaving the unit tidy. Checkout was frustrating because the keypad on the lockbox used to return the building key was extremely difficult to read in sunlight. A different lockbox would improve the experience.Overall the unit matched the listing and provided the advertised amenities. Improved communication, clearer checkout expectations, and greater attention to maintenance, privacy, and security would improve the guest experience.
