My experience at Magda's was good. The check in and check out were explained in detail and were seamless. The house is located in a very mixed residential area that is relatively close to the NJ Light Rail station. There isn't much to do around, especially at night, but an uber ride is not costly and can bring you to the downtown area in a flash.
Magda's house is exactly as shown in the pictures; pride and care are taken in her properties. I had the pleasure of meeting Magda and her family as her husband was working on the flooring over the weekend, so I could tell that she was making sure everything was in order to prepare for any upcoming guests.
The bathroom is clean and bright. The kitchen is large and equipped with everything. If you're a light sleeper, depending on who is above you there can be some loud steps/floor squeaking heard at any time. The sun does shine brightly into the room in the morning, so you have an automatic alarm clock - great for starting off the long day of fun in NYC.
Overall I had a nice and comfortable stay at Magda's and would recommend her place.
