First off, if you’re staying for the location, Hoboken is a perfect balance between big city life and chill waterfront vibes. Bloomfield is a great area. Amazing spot close to the big city, 15 minutes on the bus to get into Times Square. When you come back, you’re greeted by a calm chill vibe in Hoboken, walking/biking the waterfront with amazing views is only 6 minutes away. I personally think a bike is a must here. Location of this place is incredible. That’s what you pay for!
This place itself is ok. it should most definitely be noted that it’s actually a basement suite in a Victorian style home and the owners occupy the home upstairs. I didn’t know that and when I showed up, I went to the front door and saw a dog running around … at first I thought I was at the wrong address, but the entrance is downstairs in the basement.
Unfortunately, you can hear essentially everything they’re doing upstairs. So when you’re in the place, you are definitely hearing chairs sliding, tables moving, cutting boards etc. If you’re a light sleeper, you will wake up when they do as their kitchen must be directly above your bed. They have a dog and when he barks, it’s like he’s right in your place.
The bed is absolutely terrible! Rock solid with no give at all. I mentioned this when they asked me if I have any concerns, i said my only complaint is I have to take the couch cushions off and put them on the bed so I can sleep, “but the city is very cool” … they replied and said I’m glad you’re enjoying your stay. Didn’t seem too concerned about my only concern.
All in all, I would recommend this place for someone who is ok with living in a basement suite and hearing everything going on upstairs, and having a rough nights sleep, the location is what makes it. 3 stars for the place. 5 for the location.
