I can't say enough about how wonderful Kim is as a hostess. She greeted us at the door with a smile and a hug and even sent her friends out to help with our heavy bags. The room was beautifully decorated and it felt like we were living in our own little corner of Pier 1! The bed was super comfortable, there were fresh towels and even a variety of menus for restaurants that provided delivery - all of these things were greatly appreciated after a tiring journey. The great thing about Kim is that she goes above and beyond what is expected of her. Since I was traveling with my sister, she gave us a different room that would allow us a private bathroom, rather than having to share with another guest. We didn't ask for that, she just took that initiative because she knew we'd appreciate it more and we DID!

On our final day, she had a barbecue and Kim was kind enough to provide us with plates of her delicious food! (so good) Kim is a beautiful soul and I would recommend her highly to anyone staying in the Newark area.

I have a friend in the area and therefore did not have to take advantage of the bus system. However Kim provided me with that information in case we needed it. The neighborhood is busy and colorful, which I found enjoyable (appreciate cultural differences!) and I felt safe at all times there.

I feel like I have found a hidden gem in the Newark area, as well as a new friend. I will definitely be staying here again when I return.
