I stayed at Kim's place for 2 months during my med school rotations. My stay was absolutely wonderful. Kim and the housekeeper, Ray, are gracious hosts that treat you like family. They will accommodate your various needs and comforts to make you feel like you are home. This location is ideal and cost effective if you are rotating at Rutgers (10 min walk), Newark Beth Israel (10 min drive), Overlook Medical Center (20 min drive), St. Barnabas (20 min drive), or Morristown Medical Center (30 min drive).
The room is spacious and bright with a big comfortable bed. A desk and chair is provided if you would like an area to study or do work. There is a big chest of drawers and a huge walk in closet. The private bathroom is updated, well lit, and clean. The shared kitchen is well equipped with modern appliances, cooking tools, ample storage space, and a full size fridge. You are provided with breakfast bagels, muffins, filtered water, and when available fresh eggs from the chickens in the backyard.
Ray keeps the place spotless. He cleans the kitchen and shared spaces daily. He will clean your room and change your sheets as often as you need to hotel quality standards. He also provides amazing laundry service, everything separated, folded or on hangers, without a single wrinkle, and still smelling fresh a month later.
Kim is very quick to reply and always available. She is caring, respectful and accommodating of each guest’s situation. Many med school students, interns, and residents stay at this place so she is accustomed to their needs.
If you are looking for a home away from home, especially for a long term stay, this is a great place. I would definitely rent from Kim again if I am staying in the area.
