The location is GREAT. It is next to the Newark Penn station. Just perfect. We did not spend much time in the apartment, most of the time we were out, but we still enjoyed our stay. The only drawback is that there is no elevator and the stairs are kinda steep, so when you are arriving with many suitcases and a kid, it is complicated. But you move the suitcases up only once, and down only once, so it is not a big deal.
