The neighborhood is safe and the house is conveniently 2-3 blocks from the train station with easy access to the city. We liked being away from all the hustle and bustle in city that never sleeps aka Manhattan, so that we could recuperate from our usual busy itinerary and crowds at the end of each day. However, it took us about 45 - 60 mins to travel to the city/destinations, including walking and connecting trains. You’ve to weigh the cost of accommodation vs. traveling time.
It was almost a routine for us to pop by the Target hypermart on our way “home”. We eat, live, sleep and commute just like the locals. That’s what we enjoy the most!
We highly recommended Myles, the super friendly, responsive, helpful and generous host, because he and his house, and the neighborhood made us feel so at home!
I must mention how much I loved his cozy king size bed with mattress and pillows of superior quality, and the freshly smelling sheets. He is certainly one who places his guests’ comfort and satisfaction as the top priority, no doubt.
We whipped up simple breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen, complete with high-quality appliances and cookware before we left for the day. This saved us time and money!
Other perks include Wi-Fi access, cable tv with Netflix, coffee machine (Starbucks & Dunkin Donuts coffee capsules included), central heating system etc.
Lastly, we were so touched when Myles came to our rescue by offering to drive us to Newark International Airport at 6am on a rainy morning. I do not know any host who would go for the extra miles other than Myles.
