Great host/hosts, fast responses, easy to get into and out of the house, and a very convenient place to stay for those looking to visit or go to NYC on the cheap. The location of the place is best - a short, less than 10 minute walk to Newark Penn Station which is a 20 minute, $6 train ride to NY Penn Station - and has an added bonus of a Keurig machine for your morning coffee. Only downside is that the walls are extremely thin and you can hear everything and everyone around you. Luckily the house is in an inner street and there isn't much noise from the street and restaurants. Overall, I would still recommend this place as long as your not a light sleeper.
