We had a wonderful stay during our visit to Newark. We had a short 30 min drive to the Statue of Liberty and about a little over an hour for CitiField. Do not be intimidated by the area. We had quiet nights and some neighbors were very helpful and welcoming. The beds were super comfortable and kitchen well stocked for some homemade meals. The hosts were great with communicating any concerns, and were so helpful with planning our visit. I highly recommend this place! Oh, there is a staircase that wasn't so toddler friendly so be aware to bring something for safety reasons. Our toddler had a great time with all the open space!
