My experience was mixed. The entrance was disheveled, and the apartment was very humid inside when I arrived. The kitchen was dirty and the shower liner was moldy. I ended up doing a bunch of topical cleaning because the location was so great for what I needed. As of 6/10/18 it needs a very DEEP cleaning. It is also pretty worn out: part of the bathroom wall surfacing is missing, the laundry closet really needs a coat of paint, and the cupboards need sanitizing. That said, it is a nice little apartment and it seemed secure and safe while I stayed there for a week. It was pretty quiet at night. It is located directly across from the parking lot for the Essex Co. courthouse, police station, etc., so there were constant security patrols. It is also across from a really lovely park with lots of trees, grass, a fountain, benches and birds which was such a great feature also. It is 5 blocks from a big grocery store (ShopRite), a Dollar Store, etc., 2 blocks from a bunch of bus lines, and a 20 minute walk to Penn Station. The kitchen has no dishwasher, and I found dirty dishes put away in the dirty cupboards. The fridge and stove top worked well, but the stove needs new drip pans and the exhaust hood/fan doesn't vent outside, so cooking smells accumulate inside. The windows are nice and have good screens so you can air it out. The wifi worked well. There were plenty of towels. Neighbors were nice. Plenty of parking. The laundry situation is not really useful: It is a all-in-one low capacity machine where the washing and drying happens in the same compartment, and so it takes about 2.5 hours for a small load to finish, and you can't start a new load until it is all the way done. This place has a lot of potential. I hope it gets cleaned up.
