I did not do my research on Newark so it is partly my fault I did not have a good stay. I arrived late at 12 a.m because my flight had a two hour delay on the tarmac. The area was really scary. The cab driver would not allow me to walk to the door by myself because he said it was not a good neighborhood. Upon walking with the cab driver to do the door there was a drunk man peeing on the tree at the airbnb's house. The drunk man tried talking to me but the cab driver rushed me in the house. I was scared and did not sleep well. I heard cop cars going up and down with their sirens off. I explained this to the host but he told me that never happens and to give the place another chance. He seemed like a nice host but I didn't feel safe so I didn't stay the rest of my trip there. The room had a really bad smell and there was hair in the shower drain. I was not happy with my stay but maybe it was just a bad stay. Other reviews really enjoyed this place.
