First of all I want to say that the host was very responsive and helpful with facilitating early check in.
The place was OK and sufficiently clean. It is basically a house that has been converted into 4-5 rooms with the intention of renting. Ergo you will be sharing kitchen and bathrooms with other visitors Be aware that this area is a little noisy and when cars drive by the house will slightly vibrate.
Before going there you will need to know that this area of Newark is a little interesting with homeless people in the streets and I would not recommend this place for families. For instance, the day I checked out I saw a guy shooting heroin on the steps of the church across the street. I was there on my own which worked out but I would look for another location next time. This is to no fault of the host of course but as a potential visitor you will need to know this.
