Don't stay here
In short - (1) the house did not have heat when night temperatures were in the low 40s/upper 30s; (2) this was a work trip that required internet and the property's internet cut out after one night; (3) the host did not leave towels for everybody, so members of my group could not shower; (4) the shower was lousy, I'm talking a trickle (it did get warm, though!); (5) the host was unresponsive, defensive, and gave a time frame of "I don't know" when asked when the above would be addressed. On top of that, the backyard is in much worse shape than pictured (table and fence are falling apart, grill is rusted over), and the parking area left about 4" on either side of the car to get in/out e.g. there was not room to park safely. Luckily the neighbor was very nice in helping us finagle the car into the spot, but I was overall uncomfortable with the parking spot. Bedroom 3 is also a child's bed so know that - during my stay, an adult had to sleep in it with his feet hanging off the edge.
Finally, Trenton is a city in rough shape and that shouldn't be held against the host or the property, but to call the neighborhood "safe and quiet" seems a bit dishonest. I would certainly not call this place "lovely", but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I'd give this property 0 stars if it was an option.
