Will Not Rent Again
We rented this 1-bedroom apartment for two weeks over the Thanksgiving holiday but never occupied the unit because we were concerned the debris in the common areas of the building created fire hazards and other safety concerns. The rental unit is located on the third floor of a walk-up building that has relatively steep set of stairs. The stairs did not appear to be actively cleaned or maintained (painting). On the second floor of the building, another apartment unit was under construction (per permit on door) and there was trash and other debris such as boxes, an old TV, and kids toys lining the hallway. There was also stack of miscellaneous items right outside our rental unit door, including a car-jack, a kettle bell, stack of chairs, a vacuum, and a child’s car seat. We believed these items located right outside the door created a potential trip hazard, not to mention an eye sore for what was touted as a “charming stay in the heart of Hoboken”.The day we checked in, we contacted the host to express our concerns that the hallway debris created a fire and safety hazard. While the host was responsive to our concerns, they ultimately confirmed that “the items in question belong to another tenant in the building, and this situation is outside of our control.”Our guest experience, inclusive of the unit itself and the building common areas, was not commiserate with the price we were charged. We will not consider renting this unit in the future.
