While the community bath was an experience, ( It is a guest house after all) The rest was great. The rooms were as advertised, clean and comfortable. If you need an inexpensive place to stay for a few nights in Newark or a place to crash for your red-eye this is an excellent choice.

I did not recognize the house at first because they had no sign but it was easy to get there. It’s a bit pricey for the room because I had to pay an extra for cleaning services so it was very close to a hotel room price. Overall the location is convenient and communication was great.

I like the set up of the room and living room. What I can do without is using the same bathroom with everyone. the bed could have been fixed on the one side but it was comfortable. Would I go back Yes as long as i can have the same room. And would recommend it.

Fix the bathroom door lock on G floor

i like this place. it's like a boarding house in a townhouse in a quiet neighborhood. comfortable and the hosts were great. had a little issue checking in - they weren't immediately available and i was late and needed to get going - but worked out. biggest complaint - door on shared bathroom on my floor didn't fit in doorway and couldn't be locked. as a solo woman - that's a big problem. but in general i liked it. and nice price.

Save your money with looking for another place.

The location feels very unsafe. There is no private bathroom in the rooms which you need to share with others. This was not stated in the descriptions. We immediately left after seeing the property. A disappointing experience with hotels.com. I consider less and less using this platform as it allows subpar hosts to rip off customers.
