If you plan to go to NYC, you should definitely stay at Zacks place! It's close to the EWR airport about 15 minutes and its a ten minute walk to the PATH trains that take you close to the airport, and over to the World Trade Centers. Zack house was neatly kept, our keys were personalized and you definitely can lock your stuff up without worrying because there's about 5 keys he gives you. In our room he had provided water bottles and tissues, which I thought were thoughtful. There is a full use kitchen to use and a backyard with an ashtray. Zack was very good about keeping in touch from the beginning until after we were back in Louisiana. My only let down was Zack has a bathtub with hot water, not a hot tub as I had perceived. His shower certainly made up for it, because he has the shower piece along with a shower head that had given Excellent water pressure. Probably one of the best showers I've ever had. Also, towels, bath and body products, and coffee and tea were provided. Zack is environment friendly and clean so recycling and picking up after yourself is recommended. 5 stars Zack!
