• College Graduation Trip

  Hey, we really enjoyed this house, with it's 4 levels and multiple social TV watching spots, plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms. Most of all I loved the deck. Thanks! Really enjoyed it for my daughter's graduation from Rutgers!

• Needs improvement

  3/5

  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.

  Manager's Response:

  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!

• Nice stay close to Rutgers

  5/5

  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!!
