This place is exactly as advertised. If you need a place to crash over night and don't mind sharing a bathroom with other people, then it is perfect. You get good value for your money here. There is a lock outside of the property, a lock to access the second floor, and a lock to access your individual room (all with separate codes) which made me feel safe. The locks are pretty basic so I'm not sure how secure they are but that's the only type of lock you can use when you have to reset the codes every time new guest check in, so it is what it is. Communication from the host before, during, and after my stay was excellent. I had some trouble getting hot water in the shower but I think that was more user error than anything. Otherwise, I had no issues. It is located in one of the neighborhoods outside of downtown Newark so it's not super busy. It's definitely noisy at night so if you are a light sleeper, this may not work for you. Parking is available on the street. I had no problem finding a space on a Saturday night. Two towels were provided for an overnight stay, the bed was decent, and the bathroom had everything you might need. Solid place. Definitely recommend this to other people visiting the area.
