Chic Garden Suite + Private Parking

A minor issue at check in was quickly remedied. Having a dedicated parking space was a big selling point. We would definitely stay here again.

This basement apartment is as described in the VRBO listing and is modernly decorated. The location is very convenient and within walking distance to most of Jersey City. We felt safe in this area. Owners were extremely communicative and provided a lot of extra information regarding the surrounding neighborhood (restaurant recommendations, coffee shops, shopping district,etc). There were some additional toiletries available, which was a nice touch. There is a parking space issue that needs resolved asap, and the owners did apologize and attempt to correct the issue quickly. It was not resolved by the time of my check out, but owners assured me that they would be looking into the issue so that it didn't happen again. A couple other minor issues that were noted and mentioned to the owner (number of washcloths, loose plug in master bedroom) but overall we had a pleasant stay and would rent again if given the opportunity.

Very clean and thoughtful property. Well stocked kitchen and bathroom. Feels cosy. Susan was excellent at getting back to us quickly. Area was super-on the very edge of the gentrification in jersey city.Close to grove street path station. Great restaurants close by. Hamilton park was a 10 minute walk and great for kids. Only negative for us ** with two small kids under two is that the noise from the upstairs rental is loud when occupied. Susan quickly asked the occupants to tone down the noise during the quiet hours. But it is something to be cognizant of if you require quiet. In comparison street noise was totally fine. I hate to be negative in reviews but this needs to be said. Someone in a previous review alluded to the noise. In our opinion it was somewhat more than a few footsteps upstairs. We stayed for a week. We had people upstairs at the start of our trip and at the end. But having rented lots of places before I’d place a high degree of satisfaction in the way Susan handled the situation. Thank you.

This is one of the cleanest rentals I have ever used. There are also a lot of conveniences: full nicely appointed kitchen, washer/dryer, super clean bathroom with a few things you might have forgotten during your travels, lots of sleeping options with super soft sheets. The location is just blocks from the best bagels, coffee, restaurants, ice cream, drug store, PATH train into Manhattan. Though these things are close it it still quiet. Susan is definitely the BEST host I've had. She goes above and beyond to be sure you have a great time. She sent a list of her favorite places and told us how to get around easily, and is quick to respond should you have any questions I hope to get a chance to stay at one of her properties again next time I'm in town!
