Sun-drenched 3BR Loft with Outdoor Space Near NYC

Property was wonderful location as we looked to explore Hoboken apartments.

This Hoboken rental was a stylish and comfortable stay, but some key details were missing from the listing that could impact renters’ decisions. The property description failed to mention it’s a four-story walk-up with no elevator and that it’s in a gentrifying neighborhood. For us, these weren’t issues—climbing stairs was fine, and the area felt safe and vibrant—but this information should be disclosed upfront for transparency.Check-in was set for 3 P.M., but when we arrived shortly after, the cleaning crew was still at work, which delayed our settling in. Also, we initially booked for six guests and asked to add my niece, who lives just 10 blocks away, to join us. Despite the website quoting the same rate for six or seven guests, they wanted to charge extra. We ended up being only five guests, but their lack of flexibility was a bit disappointing.On the positive side, the property itself was beautifully decorated, and we felt right at home. The space was cozy, clean (once ready), and well-suited for our group. Overall, it’s a great spot, but better transparency and flexibility from the management would make this rental even better.

Newer apartment with modern furnishings.

We were met by Loyda, a very nice lady, who dropped the bomb that This is a building without an elevator. This is not mentioned in the listing, which is super important. Carrying up luggage was the pits. Prior to booking, I had asked if there was parking. They told me street parking. However the city of Hoboken does not allow overnight parking. This meant that the rental car needed to be parked somewhere else. I literally had to park 14 minutes away and Uber it to the condo. And lastly, this building is located just across the street from government low income housing. It is the only two block radius that feels unsafe. No one had given me the address until practically the day before rental. That’s a shame because the building itself is nice and the unit itself is nice but not for the price that I paid. If you don’t have a car, and don’t mind being on the outskirts of a gentrified neighborhood, then go ahead and rent here. It is very comfortable. The listing just needs to be much more clear.
