We stayed in Newark, NJ for 1 night after going to a Rugby game at the Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ. Uber to the Arena was about $10 and we walked on the way back which was a bit over an hour. The neighborhood didn't seem very safe, especially the last 30 minutes between the city center of Newark and the accommodation. Several men offered us drugs and "whatever else we'd need" on the way. We wanted to get something to eat on the way home but option to go home quickly, grab the car, and drive somewhere public. Definitely wouldn't recommend walking around the neighborhood after dark.
Anna was great in communicating with us and replied promptly to all messages.
You can park your car on the street which is great, although we were a bit worried about leaving it out overnight but nothing happened to it.
The house itself is divided into multiple apartments. There is a lock into the house and another one into the apartments. Then every room has it's lock with a key. The host doesn't actually live in the house which is probably the main reason why the kitchen is quite poorly equipped (you wouldn't really be able to cook with the few pots that are available). The bedroom was clean and smelled nice when we got there. Although very small, we expected that so no surprise there. Bed was comfortable. There is a hand soap in the bathroom and also shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the bath tub (mounted to the wall).
There is a window AC unit in the bedroom, which, when turned on, is very noisy as it is only a couple feet from where the bed is. Luckily, the night wasn't warm at all so we didn't need to run the AC overnight. It did get warm quickly around 6am so we had to turn it on then.
Overall good value for the money, bring your own bottled water if you don't trust the tap water and don't expect to spend much time in the apartment.
