We stayed at Lei's very nice apartment for 5 days and we had the most fun not only exploring the Ironbound District's energetic culture, great little restaurants and bars, but also using as a very convenient base to get to the sites of NYC. Penn Station, Newark is very short walking distance.
Lei and her roommate were so helpful and went out of their way to point us in the right direction, of things to see and how to get there.
The room was nice and comfy, with private bathroom and overall just the right amount of privacy where we could either be by ourselves or have fun hanging out with our host. I highly recommend!
