I stayed at the carriage house for a month and it was great! I enjoyed having the privacy of my own "apartment" while still having the host next door in the main house in case I needed anything. Street parking was easy and I was always able to find a spot within a block of the house, but 90% of the time I parked right in front so I could see my car from the window. The neighborhood is very cute and I enjoyed walking around outside when it was nice weather. There is a nice park nearby for anyone who enjoys running. The kitchenette was perfect for light stovetop cooking and I used it quite a bit without problems! The place is a 10-15 min car ride from Newark Penn (about $10 uber ride) and the train takes you right to NY Penn in 25 minutes. Natalie was quick with her responses and very accommodating throughout my stay. Minor note: for anyone staying longer term do make note of the fact that there is no washer/dryer on site and you will have to go to a laundromat to do laundry. Natalie has excellent recommendations for laundromats nearby in the area. Wonderful experience would definitely recommend!
