Wonderful place for our family night

We loved the place for our family night together. It is very nicely renovated, and the rooms were well equipped with plenty of outlets and charging ports. The bathroom is very clean, also very well renovated, and everything is clearly labeled. Thank you so much!

Good For Jersey City apartments

The house overall was amazing and the theme of the house was great. Just had minor problems with the cleanness of the apartment, from the leaky faucet to the mold on the blender or the ceiling. Besides those it was an AMAZING stay. I would book again

Great Stay

Location and property were good, property manager Massiel was super responsive to questions. We came in for a game at MetLife Stadium at the Meadowlands so we wanted to be close and be able to use public transportation, which we did. About 15-minute walk to train station that will take you all over.
