Let me start out with the positives.
-The room was clean on arrival.
-The host is quick in communication.
-Very close to Newark Penn station
-Check in and check out instruction were super clear
-Self-check in was a plus
Now the negatives:
-The description said "room has its own heating and A/C unit", which is not true. The first day when we arrived it was a super hot day in Newark and we couldn't do anything about it because there was no separate A/C for this room. It was a central once which you can not turn on until May according to NJ law (as told to us by the host).
-The neighborhood is a bit sketchy. The first day when our uber dropped us there, some drunk people were fighting outside a bar which is right across the street. Also, you will see a lot of homeless people in this neighborhood as it is close to the Penn station.
