Great place to stay!

We really enjoyed the apt. It was very clean, nicely decorated and had plenty of room. We stayed for 5 days and didn't have any issues. The ac/heat worked great, there was plenty of hot water and it was very comfy. The closeness to NJ Penn made travel to NYC so easy. Having three restaurants right there helped with grabbing a quick meal as well. I would highly recommend. The only suggestion I think I would have is ice in the freezer.

Wonderful hosts! Great neighborhood, convenient to transport!

The best stay in Newark! Apartment was very clean and beds were comfortable. It being July, we had a small issue with the A/C but hosts sent someone straight away after hours and checked in frequently after all was fixed. So many things to do & see, great restaurants & shops within walking distance. Most convenient to Penn Station trains to NYC. We will be back to stay again & see our Jersey friends that live close by!

PROS: Great cost/value ratio. Easy access to the NJ train system, with direct access to NYC (Penn station NJ to Penn station NY-Madison Square garden) and Newark airport. Within walking distance of the Prudential center (New Jersey Devils hockey team) Very convenient apartment. Owner is very cooperative. CONS: Neighborhood filled with homeless people (we never felt threatened as many policemen were present). Dusty apartment vent system (but the rest of the apartment is spotless). Conclusion: well worth the cost/value proposition compared to downtown NYC

Great Location!

We were visiting with my family and were 6 of us. The house was very comfortable and looks like the pictures. The kitchen is stocked with lot of dishes, utensils and basic pantry staples. Chocolates, popcorn and chips were a cute surprise. The location is very convenient and couple of mins walk to the Penn station. There are restaurants and groceries around which was great. The hosts were very approachable and replied quickly to all my questions. Only concern was the apartment was 2 stories up. We faced issue while moving our luggage which was on the first and last day, so not a showstopper. We will definitely come back here!

Great lovation

Super clean and cute VRBO located a block away from Newark Penn Station. Beds were super comfy as well! Fun little bar right next door for those evenings that you just want to stay in. Lots of different options of transportation into NYC, you just need to spend the time figuring all of that out ahead of time. My advice, take the PATH train to the World Trade Center, then hop on a subway to wherever you want to go in NYC. Have fun!!!

Location - perfect for train to Manhattan

We had a large group, with teens and adults. The accommodations were perfect for us, and with the train station located across the street - our access to all that NYC has to offer was only minutes away. The apt was tidy and as advertised. This is my first experience with VRBO, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. The host was very responsive, and took care of our concerns (broken couch) immediately - delivering a new couch for us next day. We will be back!

Two Story Walk Up

We only discovered upon getting check-in instructions that the apartment was a two-story walk up. We are 4 seniors (two couples, both men over 70 with heart issues) carrying luggage from a 30-day overseas trip. There was no way we could walk up twio flights with this luggage. And, as I said, we were unaware this was a two-story walk up until we received the check=in instructions a week before (while we were traveling in Europe.

Spring Break Weekend

Great place to stay!!! Very clean and welcoming.. The bottle of wine and chocolate kisses made you feel like you were in a home away from home. Traveled with a 4 year old and something as simple as coloring books and crayons added that special touch to our family getaway. It was nice to be able to cook and not have to eat with paper plates and plastic utensils. Around the corner is a charming Spanish community with shops and places to eat that reminds me of The upper East Side in NYC. Penn Station is just down the street and a convenient way to get to NYC. We always seemed to just miss the train every time so I recommend you download the path train app..

Great location!

This property was perfect for our visit to NYC. Being steps away from Newark Penn Station made our commuting into the city each day very easy. The restaurants downstairs were convenient and delicious. The 24 hour paid parking lot at the end of the building was a perfect place to leave our car. While the street corner near the train station was kind of sketchy with all the people hanging around, there was always police presence and we never felt unsafe. The unit was up two flights of stairs, so just a warning if anyone has health issues that would make getting up stairs difficult. The unit itself was super cute and perfect for our needs. It was clean, the beds were relatively comfy, the temperature in the unit was able to be kept at a comfortable level, and the shower had hot water and plenty of water pressure. The kitchen appeared to be stocked well, but for our short trip we ate out every meal and didn’t fully utilize the kitchen. We enjoyed the popcorn and chocolate kisses that were left for us. There’s also a 7-11 at the corner which made it convenient to pick up a few items we needed for our stay. Overall, a really great experience!

Met our needs for our visit to Newark

This apartment is lovely, clean, nicely decorated. Beds are comfy. Kitchen had what we needed for our stay. Shower had plenty of hot water, but not so great water pressure. We stayed in Newark to attend an event at Prudential Center, and we liked that it was an easy walk to/from the venue. We found parking on the same block using spot hero, and that worked perfectly. The neighborhood has plenty of dining options within an easy walk. The morning after our stay, our sons took a short walk to Newark Penn Station and were in Manhattan within a half hour. This location in Newark was just perfect. Noting that the VRBO listing as well as my reservation confirmation stated check in time was 4:00 pm and check out time was 11:00 am. Later I was asked to complete an arrival and departure form for our host — that form advised we had to check out no later than 10:00 am. It also advised of a 3:00 pm check in time. 10:00 is too early to require check out and I would have preferred to know that from the start. Not a deal breaker but most guests don’t like changes to the published house rules after reserving and making payment. That said, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
