10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2024
We had a big group in town for the film festival and it was a great home base for us, lots of beds and bathrooms. Kids loved the trampoline and yard. Location is a bit of a walk from local restaurants and coffee. But Area has lots of big old mansions and nice to walk through and explore when going to south orange downtown area.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2023
This property is beautiful, clean, and has everything you need, including a trampoline! We didn't notice a coffee maker, but there was a super-fancy/intimidating espresso maker (but we don't drink coffee, so it was a non-issue for us). Security system was very comforting. The owners indicated it is their primary residence, so some of the rooms were locked, which is completely understandable. We didn't need all of the available rooms, so it took me about a day to realize that the locked doors have dark handles; the available rooms have gold handles (would have been good to know ahead of time so we didn't walk around testing every door -- I felt like I was being nosy). Overall a wonderful stay and would recommend this property wholeheartedly.
6 / 10Average·May 2025
While it's a nice property, it is wayyy overpriced. I was not given check-in instructions and had to contact the host to ask for details and rules. Upon arrival, there was trash in the front yard, and the grass was overgrown in the front and back. I was forthcoming about hosting an event here and was disappointed by the lack of maintenance and curb appeal. The windows inside don't lock, which is a safety issue for me. The listing boasts a "gourmet kitchen," which couldn't be further from the truth. It lacks basic necessities like cutting boards, cookie sheets, clean pots and pans, half-decent knives, wine glasses, mixing bowls etc. Cooking for my event in this kitchen was an absolute nightmare. Not to mention the kitchen rugs that are falling apart. The walls throughout the ENTIRE house are atrocious...dirt all over, food stains etc, across all walls. Stains on most chairs in the house. The fire pit in the backyard is not only an eyesore but also unusable. The outdoor furniture pillows are molded. No shampoo or conditioner provided... even a Motel 6 provides shampoo and conditioner. This house is located on a noisy street, and with the lack of insulation, you can expect to hear every noise, car exhaust, and conversation happening outside of the home at all hours. While this house may seem beautiful from the pictures, it does not live up to its appearance.
