Nadir is one of the best hosts I've ever met, very friendly and considerate person. The apartment itself is nice and stylish, decorated by nice photos and artworks. The place is very close to mta station which you could easily access to attractions including those in manhattan, perfect choice if you fly from LaGaudia airport (a bit far from Newark tho). Many shops, cafe, restaurants, bars and supermarkets in surrounding area so lots of choices no matter you're eating out or cooking. Could have some noise from the street but most of the time didnt bother me.
