Olayanju was super responsive, very kind and had a joyful, loving spirit. It was a pleasure to stay at her home!
Remember that access to the house is with two keys, not one. (I hadn’t made note of that, so 4am arrival was a little hairy at first)
Beds are nice (a little on the firm side, which I personally prefer, but maybe not for everyone) but were twin size, so we tall folks might end up with dangling feet. That was fine for me, but just an fyi.
Location in terms of proximity to EWR is superb. Neighborhood is so-so, but seemed okay, all things considered. (Not a fan of Newark in general). Not the quietest place—road and air traffic noise, but not super problematic.
Travel tip for Manhattan-bound visitors: Uber from Olayanju’s house to EWR Terminal C (uber pool is about $6) and take the express bus to Manhattan (midtown, three stops). It is a lot cheaper than Uber direct to the city (pretty pricey) and easier than bus/train from Penn Station Newark. You can return the same way and keep a roundtrip to the city less than $20 or so.
