The Luxury Experience lived up to the name - the hosts went above and beyond to make this little place in Newark feel like a vacation and a home away from home.
The location is perfect for commuting to New York, NJ transit is about 30 minutes to Manhatten and the light rail is a few hundred feet behind the Airbnb to get to Newark Penn. A quick Uber gets you to anywhere in the Newark area, with Whole Foods and some cute cafes 5-10 minutes away. It's in a quieter area and loft building is very secure with double locks. We never felt unsafe during our stay, though we didn't use the light rail at night as some sketchy characters hung out around it. It can be slightly noisy at night with the rail so close to the loft, but it's a minor inconvenience unless you're a very light sleeper.
The loft is well stocked with eveything needed for a comfortable stay, the snacks and waters provided were such a sweet touch that we really appreciated. The entire loft smelled very pleasant and was spotlessly clean, with air fresheners in the bathrooms and a candle on the coffee table (though we couldn't find a lighter to burn it). The couch, pullout bed and king bed were a comfortable sleep and stocked with more than enough pillows. There is a shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispenser in the shower and plenty of soft towels. The washer/dryer and oven were so convenient to have, we cooked dinner the last night of our stay and appreciated the seasonings in the cabinets to cook with.
Would absolutely stay here again if we visited the Newark/New York area, it's a lovely stay and the hosts communication was extremely quick.
Thank you Anthony and Vanessa!
