I had the pleasure of spending the summer at Kim's home in Newark. Although the neighborhood is not for the faint of heart, Kim was incredibly generous throughout my time in the city. She routinely washed and folded my laundry, changed my sheets, and even cooked for me. It was such a pleasant experience.

The living space is shared--usually 2-3 other individuals live in the apartment--but is generally large enough to allow for personal privacy. Kim has gone to great lengths to decorate her apartments in an appealing manner. I loved talking to her and her family members about their experience in Newark. We always had a good time hanging out!

As far as transportation is concerned, Kim helped me secure a bus pass and told me where the nearest stop was located. She made sure that I felt comfortable in the city throughout my stay and even recommended places that I might like to visit.
