It was my mistake to choose that location while having to travel each day to New York so I had both extra fees and a 1.5 hour ride each direction to Penn Station NYC. That is, however, my mistake and choice, but it might be useful advice if someone is staying with the same plan.

It was really comfortable and clean, I had a lovely stay. The connection of public transport was satisfactory.

The room "E" i was in had curtail rods that were not staying place. A slight touch would bring them down. I found dull worn out blue and grayish towels..not pleasing to my sight. The air conditioning was not working, just blowing air. The socket in the room wasn't working so I was charging my devices in the kitchen.

Very friendly neighborhood and people. Sharon was just great, was really helpful with information. Nearby bus stop to Penn station

I didn’t expect it to be a room with shared bathroom, I was thinking it is a hotel.

A budget-friendly option for visiting New York city, though it may take about an hour to reach the city. Both the host and co-host are friendly and helpful. The double room is comfortable, and I slept very well. Occasionally, there may be a short wait for the shared bathroom.

The socket of my room was old and I could not charge my mobile phone in the room (F). It is needed to repair this socket.

The house has various facilities to live, starting from the disinfection liquid to the fridge, washing machine, plates, various types of cups, the gas stove to cook various foods at the kitchen. The house is VERY CLEAN, all visitors have to use plastic Blue Disposable Shoe Cover OR House Slippers to keep clean all areas. The house staff are friendly and helpful. Big thanks!

I didn't like the first small room, the upstairs was cool. And for some reason the mattress in the first room was sealed in it and constantly rustled.

I stayed in August-September 2024. Good price, clean, calm, quiet. Very friendly hostess. Everything is there, even laundry for free. The only bad thing is that there was no electric kettle. There was a coffee machine there, but it didn't work. I heated water in a saucepan on the stove for coffee.There was also an oven which was very good. I booked for 8 days in different rooms. The first single room was not very comfortable and small, but I really liked the second double room on top. So if I visit New York again, I will choose this accommodation option. The only thing is that the city East Orange is not the most pleasant, but the accommodation facility is a very good choice. 15 minutes by bus to New Ark Penn Station and then 2 train stops from there to Manhattan, NYC.

I didn’t like the area but no one bothered anyone. My other dislike was that the drawers in the room needed to be cleaned out and the window blinds could use some cleaning. Also, the tone of voice the owner has when speaking could use a little adjustment. She could be gentler when speaking to people. Overall, she did her job and provided a safe and peaceful stay.

The property was as described although the initial picture shown has nothing to do with the house which can be confusing. The property was cozy and clean. My room was very nice and came with the private bathroom. I slept very well in my room. It had an A/C unit and I loved that the TV came with lots of channels. There wasn’t a lot of noise or many people running around. I enjoyed the peace. Overall, it was a beautiful stay!

The stairs were just a little bit tilted, and while they installed a more secure lock on the front door (which is great), when I left the place (one day after the lock was replaced), there still wasn’t a handle to pull it closed. These are minor details that didn’t affect my stay at all.

It’s a great place to stay, conveniently located near many bus stops and close to Newark Penn Station. The house is always kept clean and comfortable. During my stay, there was no loud noise at night, and the price was very reasonable. I liked it very much!

I think the blue booties were quite ridiculous. I’m very anal on being clean & tidy but I didn’t see the purpose of them to be honest. The climb up the steps were treacherous as well. The people that were there when I was there never cleaned the tub as posted in the bathroom. Just an annoyance.

Location to travel to work & quietness of it all. I drove and they were accommodating on letting me park in the driveway to avoid getting a ticket.

My stay was great. It was comfortable, clean and convenient. Sharon the host was very nice and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this stay to all my friends. And I would definitely rebook this again. Thanks so much Sharon 😊

It was clean and feels like Home.

The bathroom door wasn't secure and wouldn't lock. The bathtub was dirty. There were mouse droppings in the kitchen and on the stove. The stair was very narrow, which was not good for me having knee issues. There was mold in the bathroom, and I'm highly allergic to mold.

The mattress.

It could have a large mirror to check your look before going out.

Exactly as advertised, easy access, fair price, quiet, good infrastructure, I liked the laundry.

I loved the twin room, it's small but it's a great value. The bedding is fresh with a towel provided. There's a window with an ac unit and a closet. It's nice and quiet and next to the kitchen.
