We stayed only one night and left. We decided to stay in a hotel the rest of the nights afterwards.
Reasons we left:
- Uber driver that drove us from the airport said the area is not safe and pointed to places on the drive to Anna’s and telling us to never go to certain areas. He even said only Uber and don’t come out until your Uber arrives and never walk around. He also drove a huge distance behind cars and said “I like to drive a big distance behind cars in this area because if I need to then I could get us out of here.” Haha that freaked me out.
- the room is not super clean, we oddly had little dog hairs on our bed. Then we met the couple in the next room and they happened to have a dog. But why were the dog hairs in our room, on our bed?
- if you check behind the corners of the nightstands and bed it is extremely dirty. Anna should really get better cleaners.
- floors are not clean in the room or common areas, I would recommend you to bring slippers to walk around.
- uber driver that drove us the next day to leave Anna’s also said he doesn’t understand why we would chose an air bnb in that area and it’s a good thing there we were leaving. He even said he would never pick up customers in that area at night.
Overall Anna was very nice and responded quickly. That one bus to the city is a very close walk to here bnb. If you’re looking for a cheap stay and you don’t have any high expectations then this place is good for a visit. I don’t usually complain about places and even though her place was dirty, I would have stayed if I thought the area was safe, which it highly sounded like it didn’t. If you’re flying to Newark I recommend you staying at the Ramada hotel near the airport. It’s affordable and cost almost as much as Anna’s.
