What an adventure! As I read the reviews on this property the neighborhood came up...and they were not lying. Coming from Tampa, Fl in an 80k truck, I stuck out like a sore thumb. The fact is you can't judge a book by the cover. I had no problems with my truck or my family anywhere near this property. It's totally fine! As for the property and the host. Perfect place to consider not paying so much to be in the city (NYC). It was clean, fridge had some great surprises for me and the kids, and the place had a true NY (Newark) feel. The place was only 30mins from the city, and 25 or so to Liberty Park where one can get great pictures of the Skyline. No problem with finding parking near the property as well. Thanks for a great stay.
