Needs improvement

Arrival/check-in was very easy. Communication with host was quick & helpful. Location was convenient. Good to use as a place to sleep, but not much else. Disappointed in overall cleanliness of the property. Several of the sheets were stained and wrinkled on beds, rips in bedding/comforters and fabric on couches. There appeared to be gum stuck to chairs in the living room, other furniture clearly stained, & attempted to be presentable with furniture covers that were also stained. The carpets had dust, hair, and clearly had not been vacuumed or the floors mopped prior to our arrival. Lamps had burnt out light bulbs. Crumbs were left all over shelves in refrigerator. Keurig machine did not work. The towels provided were not enough for number of guests & several pillows were missing pillow cases. Ceiling in basement had several damaged & missing tiles. Mattresses were extremely uncomfortable. HVAC did not seem to keep up with cooling/heating to set temperature.

Nice stay close to Rutgers

Our family had a lovely stay and it was conveniently located so close to rutgers! We were down for a state championship swim meet and it was so nice to drive 8 min back to the house and be able to cook lunch and dinner for the kids and allow them to rest between sessions. I would highly recommend!!

Disliked: Cleanliness

Spacious not clean

I recently stayed at this house and while it did have some positive points there were a few significant letdowns. The space itself was quite large and had the potential but unfortunately it was quite dingy. The floors and walls felt worn down and the cleanliness wasn't up to par - it didn't quite match the fresh welcoming vibe the photos seemed to promise. The biggest disappointment was how misleading the pictures were. The home looked much more well maintained online than it did in person which was a bit of a letdown. There were noticeable issues (mouse traps) and some outdated furniture that didn't match the bright stylish look portrayed in the listing. It wasn't a terrible stay but definitely not what I expected.

Family in town for a wedding

The home was clean and had everything we needed (though it was more of just a place to sleep while we were in town so we didn’t require a lot.) Most of the mattresses could use an upgrade but all in all we enjoyed our stay.
