Won't repeat. Not a single TV channel because the owner replaced the cable subscription by a Roku Stick, whose password was also unknown. Thus, no TV channels unless you stream them from your laptop. Problem is most of the US channels require as cable subscription and therefore as foreigners we were unable to watch the usual US channels in a bunch. On top of that, the apartment was extremely cold and it was heated by 3 electrical heaters (one in each room). The sarcastic point is that although the flat was always cold and required the heating if you did not want to get totally frozen; there was a note sticked next to the heaters warning not to put the power of the heater too high. Apparently the owner was most concerned about the electricity cost than about the health of the guests.
The stove controls were completely broken (2 out of 4). There was little kitchen and toilet paper. The worst was the location of the apartment: in a Newark neighborhood where going to the train station or just walking in the afternoon / evening was just dangerous.
Because we are foreigners and did not know it but we do not recommend any tourist visiting NYC to stay in this apartment due to its dangerous location. The price of the apartment versus the personal risk does not justify renting this apartment. Furthermore, due to this risk, we could not walk to the station, which greatly increased our transportation costs. Simply this location does not compensate for anyone visiting NYC.
