I rented Bart's place for 19 days. I was very happy about my stay as all the required facilities are available. The place is in a nice neighborhood where many Spanish, Portugues and other Latin people live. There are plenty of nice restaurants in different price ranges. to go for lunch and diner.
Also I can recommend the place to tourists that like to go to NYC. It's a five minutes walk to Penn Station Newark. From this station you can take the train that takes you in about 18 minutes to Penn Station New York which is in the middle of Manhattan. A roundtrip Newark Penn Station - New York Penn Station costs 10,50 dollar p.p.
Although I didn't personally met Bart, he was an excellent host. Everything was prepared for my stay and if you have questions you can call Bart or send him an email. Your answers by email will be responded within a couple of hours.
