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!!

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.

We stayed here for the location near the hospital and to accommodate a family. There were little options. The house and furniture is very old and worn down. The floors creaked and there was a foul smell in the upstairs bathroom. The kitchen utensils are old with scratched teflon pots and pans, broken scissors and blunt knives. The beds upstairs are thin and stained and one mattress was so lumpy that a family member slipped and fell off the bed. Ants were crawling around the living room windows.

A lot of things need attention at this place. We couldn't run the dishwasher because the flap that holds the detergent pack won't stay closed. The sink that you have the washing machine drain running into was stopped up and there was no plunger anywhere to be found so we bought one and fixed it. The tub spout in the upper bathroom isn't attached to the shower because the pipe is pushing out too much. I only saw a couple wash clothes in the whole house. The tv in one of the upper bedroom doesn't work. Get those things fixed and it will be great.

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 There were noticeable issues (mouse traps) and some outdated furniture that didn't match the bright stylish look portrayed in the listing.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.

Hi Prabhdeep, we truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts about your recent stay. Your feedback is essential to us, and we've relayed your comments to the homeowner, who would like to address the following:-We understand the importance of accurately representing our property through professional listing photos, and we assure you that the images are an accurate reflection of our home. Our goal is to help guests make informed decisions that align with their preferences.-The house is thoroughly cleaned, including the floors and walls, and many rooms were recently painted. All furniture shown in the photos is present, except for the brand new living room sofa, which enhances the space even further.-The trap in the basement was set for a few days, and the cleaning crew was asked to remove it, but unfortunately, it was overlooked. It was placed in a discreet corner of the basement, and we sincerely apologize for this oversight.Thanks for taking the time to leave your review!

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.

Hi Megan, we want every guest to feel at home and completely comfortable during their stay, so we’re sorry to hear this one didn’t meet your expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:- We personally inspected the home after cleaning—floors were vacuumed and mopped, the fridge was clean, and the Keurig was working properly.- The furniture cover is regularly washed to protect a family heirloom, and no gum or stains were found during inspection.- Sheets may have had some wrinkles from storage, but none were stained or torn. Towels were stocked for the reported guest count, with extras in the closet.- We’re addressing minor basement ceiling tile damage and continue to monitor the HVAC system. Most mattresses are newer, though we understand comfort can vary.Thanks again for your feedback—we’re always working to improve and are confident future guests will have a great experience!
