If you want to stay with „real locals“ and not in a hostel with tourists – this is a place to be in
NY/Newark – close to NY-City. You get a very warm welcome on arrival from Aleksa, a helpful hand with your luggage from another “family member” and a warm invitation to make yourself at home and feel free to have a coffee to begin with. Aleksa is a hard working woman, a careful host and tries to make your stay as easy as possible. She helps with information on shops, restaurants around her area and even Metro Cards for transportation to and fro NY-City. She also offers to help to get appropriate transportation to the airport and is very relaxed regarding the checkout time.
I felt safe and comfortable at her home. And for myself I can say that I will try to stay with her again the next time when I will fly into Newark/New York.
