I spent three weeks in Malene's house, and I feel that is a great place to stay in Newark. The neighborhood is close to Ironbound, near to Penn Station and Newark Downtown. Also the bus which crosses the city stops in front of the house.
The spacious room has a big bed, TV, microwave, fridge and enough space to keep your things in place. The space shared is also comfortable and super clean. It is a really quite house, and you can find the perfect balance between feel welcomed and privacy. Marlene is very nice and she take care of everything that you would need.
