My wife and I stayed in Marylyn's studio for 3 nights in December. We would highly recommend this host. Our room was just down the hall from the shared bathroom. The bathroom was always clean and sharing was not an issue. Our room was very clean and had everything we needed, including a desk and good wifi connection for working. It was really convenient to Manhattan. The express stop on the subway is just 1.5 short blocks away and the line goes both to JFK and Penn Station, so is also convenient for Newark airport arrivals.
