Spent 4 months at Tendai’s during a legal residency. Cannot beat the price of her offerings. Truly an easy place to show up with nothing but clothes and toiletries and be more than fine.
Kitchen is well stocked with appliances, spices, coffee and tea. Bathroom has shampoo/body wash/lotion for the forgetful traveler.
All spaces are cleaned once a week at minimum by professional cleaners.
Location is close to all major highways, and the NYC bus stop is within 100 feet of the front door. Commuter rail is available via South Orange and Maplewood train stations.
Note - parking can be funky. Make sure to clarify city rules with Tendai when you arrive. Make sure to park your car in the correct areas on trash days (Monday and Tuesday, depending on which side of the street).
