Located 1/2 mile from both Newark Penn Station and the Prudential Center, as well as a bunch of local restaurants along Ferry St., Diego's apartment is perfect for those who want to limit the amount of time getting in and out of NYC. The Path trains from Penn Station are $2.75 one way for a 25 min ride to Manhattan the runs 24/7. You can also take the trains to and from the airport so you don't have to rely on an Uber/taxi to get to the apartment at all.
The room is curtained off so there is no lock or a private door for you. Their room is just on the other side of the curtain through another door. But they were very respectful and there was never any noise to worry about. The room has a window air conditioner which when not on in the summer it got pretty warm in the room but didn't take long to cooldown. Other than that Diego's place is simple and perfect for travelers. The area overall doesn't look the greatest but even when walking late at night along Ferry St. or back to the apartment I felt pretty safe. Be careful around Penn Station with the amount of homeless people in the area
