Maria was lovely and easy to arrange everything with before my stay. She was in the apartment waiting for me so check-in was super easy. Her house manual was very informative and helpful and she gave me really useful advice on the local area, including how to get into NYC.
Her place was clean, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was fully equipped so I could cook my meals there. Nice lounge and bedroom for chilling out. The location is great - just a 15-20 minute walk to Newark Penn station then 20-25 minutes to New York City based on what part you are going to and whether you take the PATH or NJ Transit. Couldn't believe how cheap the trains were compared to London - just $2.75 on the PATH (although NJ Transit is double that). It's a nice, quiet residential area that's really easy to get to from Newark International Airport. There is also a biggish supermarket just a few minutes' walk away.
Really enjoyed my stay here and would recommend for anyone visiting New York who doesn't fancy the prohibitive prices or hustle and bustle of New York City.
