I stayed at Anna’s place for a month while working at The hospital. Anna’s place is as described. But as someone else pointed out you have to know what you’re getting into. If you have dreams of walking around the area like you’re in some romantic movie you don’t know NEWARK. It’s a slightly rough neighborhood but literally across the street from the hospital and an easy safe walk to it.
The pros are:
-easy checkin
-friendly owners
-separate AC for each room
-close to EWR
The cons:
-the housekeeping leaves much to be desired at times. The floors were not mopped once the entire month I was there, the bathroom was seldom cleaned and when it was the floor was not mopped.
-a number of guests are not near as courteous as you may expect and because they have automatic booking there are sometimes some very strange people with strange ideas of cleanliness. As an example one guy slept on the couch for days on end and every time he used the bathroom would use a water bottle to splash water over everything-sink, toilet seat, mirror, floor, rug.
-Common area is not really air conditioned. Windows left opened and no AC even with 90 degree days.
-communication can sometimes be spotty. As an example, the bathroom was without toilet paper for 24hours after owner was notified. There were 7 guests in the apartment. I ended up buying my own toilet paper.
