This was my first stay at an AirBnB. The apartment was clean and comfortable. There are stores, restaurants, and public transportation in close walking distance from the apartment. I felt completely safe during those short walks. Easy to commute to and from Newark International with Uber. Fairly easy commute to NYC- bus or bus then subway depending on where you are trying to go. The one problem we encountered with the apartment was that the heater didn't work 2 nights of our stay. I kept 5 stars because Patricia recognized the problem, had it fixed and communicated with me through it all.
