I stayed at Tendai's place for 2 months and I can say without reservation that I would consider her place again in the future. Except for some WiFi issues during my stay, I had no other issues. Since I came prepared for a long term stay, I came equipped with all the basic toiletries but I am sure that Tendai will accommodate a guest's request if they forgot something. Access to a full kitchen and laundry facility is a huge plus for long term guests. The bus stop to go into Port authority bus terminal in Manhattan is literally 3 minute walk from the house and there is also a train station (south orange) which is ~$6-7 uber ride away. There is a grocery store and walgreens within walking distance. I've never ventured out in the dark but felt safe getting back from work during daylight. Tendai and her family were very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Tendai keeps the place very clean and checks in on her guests to make sure that they are comfortable. I had a very comfortable stay and would definitely recommend this place.
