Firstly, the host is great. They were very responsive and helpful during our stay. The spot was clean and well decorated, it looked exactly like the posting!
Secondly, we did have to make our stay here shorter than expected because of a couple of reasons.
-The main reason being that this is a shared apartment building with other Airbnb renters staying directly above you. This is not directed towards the host, because again, they were very helpful in making the space as comfortable as possible but the people above us were very loud late at night and early in the morning. When I mentioned this both times to Evelyn she responded promptly to help resolve the issue. We noticed a difference afterward, during the nighttime. Once we decided the stay here would not be worth the inconvenience we would experience with the other guests, we decided to leave. Evelyn helped us get a refund and was very apologetic on behalf of the other guests as they were not following the house rules. This was much appreciated because most hosts would not have done the same.
-The second reason is that the neighborhood didn't feel very safe. For the most part, I would not see a reason anyone would want to walk around at nighttime rather than the day but unfortunately, we did not stay long enough to experience the area during the day. If you are traveling with a group, you shouldn't experience a problem but for groups less than 3, I wouldn't recommend the area if you want to feel safe walking around at nighttime.
Overall, I am appreciative of finding a spot located very close to the Newark airport. The hosts will make a noticeable effort at ensuring you are comfortable and will do what they can to make your stay better!
