    There was a faint smell of sewage that I wasn’t sure was from outside or the property. My room had items like cups in the bathroom and a pair of black lace panties under the bed. The wall outlets were loose and I found it hard to keep my devices charged because the cords kept falling out the loose sockets

    It was last min and suited my needs at the time

    Wasn't as close to New York as I expected but that's on me. Also I spotted a few cockroach in the kitchen at night. But nothing some extra cleaning the dishes can't fix, I don't mind.

    Reasonable heating for the winter, showers and cooking was available. Dryers ok, room big enough, wardrobe to hang clothes etc Good tradeoff in prices given the distance.

    No heating at all so nights where cold also I think u should have a spot downstairs perhaps in the back where guests can smoke instead of just outside as the neighbourhood is not the safest and I was almost scared of a few things otherwise .

    I liked the look and the cleanliness, but it was freezing no heating

    - Neighborhood appears unsafe at first, though it feels fine after a while - Liquor store across the street attracts a crowd, especially in the evening and more so on weekends - Floor isn’t very clean; better to wear shoes indoors - Stove is non-functional - Limited utensil set in the kitchen - Bathroom could use renovation; light is a bit dim and toilet placement is awkward (too close to the door)

    - Comfortable overall stay - Good facilities available - Convenient location, only 15 minutes from the airport and Newark Penn Station - Affordable price that compensates for the drawbacks

    The bathroom could’ve been cleaner & the refrigerator/freezer had dead gnats in it.

    In a very convenient location & the facilities were overall very secure with several different locks to actually get inside.

    I had to walk up 3 flights of stairs and it was clean, but it could have been cleaner.

    It had everything you needed in the room.Wash and dryer was there to use they also had silverware and dishes and pots and pans to use as well as supply the tissue for the bathroom. i love the fact that it was locked keypad on each door so I felt secure because of that.

    Although the house looked slightly outdated, it was clean and comfortable. It was a good find for the price.

    My suitcase was rather heavy and going up and down three flights of stairs w it was a bit of a challenge. The person before me had a dog, which in and of itself is not a problem. It’s just that I could still smell that there was a dog there. They should have taken the rug out and washed it and more thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with an anti bacterial. Finally, please check the batteries on those locks regularly and remind visitors to keep their phones w them in case they are locked out of their bedroom due to a malfunction. I’m glad the battery stopped working on an arrival as opposed to later. I am assuming you are in the process of installing an outlet in to plug in the TV in the room.

    The space was great! I wish I had known about the stairs in advance.

    They were some miscommunication about the room that allocate initially, then asked to move to another room on following day. Thought it wasn’t an issue perhaps the new room was super tidy and not even the AC wasn’t plugged in.

    Clean and the owner was available all the time. She responded immediately with all the needs …

    I didn't like the location, it didn't feel safe to me as a single traveler. I ended up not staying in the property because of it. I asked for a refund and was refunded 1 night out of 4. It's better than nothing, so I am thankful for that.

    The unit was clean.

    Is a very, very unsafe area. Uber and Lyft drivers would tell me and the other lady that was in the premises to be very careful. Right beside the house there is a green space where people gather to consume alcohol. Please consider that when you are looking for a place in the area. My bedroom was exactly what I needed, a comfortable bed to sleep, Thank you! The kitchen was dirty, a lady came, swiped the floors and then took charged in fixing the stove that wasn't lighting up. Just know, in the kitchen there were cockroach, babies and I saw mama too, but even thought I was disgusted I know is common in NY and NJ to see 🪳, is not a excuse though and knowing that the place should be neat to avoid them. The wi-fi never worked. At the end, there is a saying: "you get what you pay". But in the future I will understand that when you see a 9 🌟 review, it doesn't necessarily mean that, is important to research over that 9 star.

    I appreciate that when I asked Sharon if I can bring my luggage earlier than checking time she kindly approved. Also, appreciate the gentleman that was in the house doing some repairs because of his kindness and willing to help me.

    Please see above!

    The near airport location was very desirable. However, I tried three times on the eve of my arrival to reach the host via cell phone to no avail. I finally made contact in the late evening of my arrival at Newark International due to flight delays. I received the proper codes via cell phone. I was surprised to see such a narrow and steep stairway to the second floor walk up. Don't recall being so advised. Fortunately, at 80 years of age, I'm still in good shape. The rooms was not entirely clean for there were dusty floors, closet, broken hangers, woman's clothing in the bottom drawer of chest. Also kitchen trash was not emptied, and I found small bugs along the kitchen sink. And the bathroom rug, tub, and floors needed attention. I did advise the owner of my findings several days after I returned home from my travels in August.

    I didn’t feel safe in that area and due to a mix up I was waiting outside at night without a code to get in to the property. It isn’t a safe area. So that wasn’t cool.

    It’s cheap and might do for a layover for a night
