Sun-Filled Loft - Downtown Jersey City - JCretreat

Comfortable space and loft is chic. Nice view and quiet neighborhood. Very convenient location.

Pros: Highly functional space - everything within the apartment works and good layout if you are mixing remote work with vacation. Secure but easy building access. Very convenient location, felt safe at night. The apartment itself was clean. Cons: Building entryway and halls are messy and cluttered. Hall smoke detector was missing on our floor (clearly had been removed). The apartment could use a paint job and other sprucing up. We left a couple of days early and checked into a hotel (despite paying in full) when I saw a mouse scamper across the living room. Bottom line: It is an old row house that is only partially renovated. The price is right if you are willing to accept the tradeoffs.

I had a good stay for three weeks while I searched for an apartment in the area. Cindy helped resolve a couple maintenance items during my stay. Enjoyed it.

It was a pleasure working with Cindy and staying at the apartment. It has close and easy access to transportation and a mall, plus she gave clear and great directions. The apartment is a nice size including the bathroom. There was also good amenities such as an A/C and heater unit in the bedroom and living room.

Great directions and communication from owners. Parking occasionally difficult. Third floor walk up was as described. Ten min to PATH and 15 to city. We would stay again.

Great location, easy access to transportation in and out of New York to Jersey! Owner was EXTREMELY resourceful! The walk through the mall was super helpful and location felt safe! Can’t wait to visit again and can’t see myself staying anywhere else!! Thank you!!!!

We had a wonderful time in NYC. My daughter got engaged while we were there, and he ended up staying with us. Maybe It is a little small for 5 people. HAHA! The kitchen is well equipped, and easy to work in. The bed in the master was heaven to sleep on. Plenty of storage, and an updated bathroom. Linens were abundant, and of good quality. There is really only one bed, the day bed is so squeaky, that no one could really sleep on it. There were various groceries left from previous renters. A little unusual, but came in handy. It is a pretty easy 30 min PATH train ride to 34th street. 12/16/2018

Cindy was a very responsive host. The unit is a short walk to the PATH train to NYC by cutting thru Newport mall (which Cindy clued us into). You have a supermarket, regional mall, and mega liquor store mere blocks away. If you forgot anything from the market there is a small grocery store (with great Indian food) literally next door. There are great restaurants nearby as well (I’d recommend Rumba Cubana and Hamilton Pork). We had family and friends over for Xmas Eve and Day. There was ample room and everyone remarked how the brick wall, exposed wood beam ceiling and (artificial) fireplace made the unit look “like a country cabin in the city”. 2 guests slept over comfortably with the pullout futon. The only negative I can think of are the stairs. If you don’t think you can negotiate 4 flights of steep and narrow stairs on a regular basis, this unit probably is not for you. Any inconveniences in this older unit are outweighed by its superior location. So easy to get to NYC, without the price and hassle of NYC !

We loved our stay, my wife and I were in town for a wedding. The location is perfect. The apartment is directly across the street from a small grocery store. There is a gas station , Burger King, and liquor store one block away as well. Not to mention a 5 minute walk from a couple of neighborhood restaurants and Newport Center Mall. The train station is next to the mall and a 5 minute walk. It’s quiet at night and feels safe. The apartment has everything we needed, multiple space heaters, linens , kitchenware, and it was CLEAN. It is a bit of a work out to carry your luggage up to the 3rd floor but other than that, the building is old so you get that vintage northeast feel. Cindy was very responsive, even though we had no issues she did make herself available at all times. I recommend and would gladly stay there again.

terrific apartment in great part of jersey city. very comfortable, near key amenities (supermarket, mall with lots of restaurants, movie theater, path train) and major roadway (but apt is on quiet street). owner was more like a host - responsive and very nice. highly recommend.
