Thought a few days about how I wanted to review this place.
With a little bit of distance I can say that we didn’t feel safe in the neighborhood - it is definitely not a place to stay alone at when you’re a foreign traveler. Also it was very hard to find a supermarket covering any needs of us.
The house was pretty clean.
It was loud, you heard every footstep of the guests above and around you when they used the stairs.
On Airbnb it said the place would have towels and shower gel, but it didn’t. Of course we traveled without it so that was bad. We asked the host to bring what she offered in the first place, and she basically lied to us, as she said she will bring it but didn’t. So another day goes by and we finally got towels and shower gel - that was unexpectedly unpleasant.
If you’re looking for something really cheap to stay in Newark, I guess the place is alright in the end. Really don’t want to bash it. Just don’t expect anything great.
