• Title: Comfortable Stay for a Group, But Some Trade-offs

  3/5

  My family and I came to Newark, NJ for Thanksgiving to visit our family is in New York, and this property worked well for our group of six. Here are some pros and cons to consider:

  Pros:

  * Spacious and Affordable: The unit was roomy, with multiple bathrooms, which was a huge benefit for our group. It was also reasonably priced.

  * Clean and as Described: The unit was clean and exactly as shown in the listing, which we appreciated.

  * Proximity to Newark Airport: It was very close to Newark Airport, which was convenient for travel.

  * Local Shops: Local shops and restaurants are within walking distance, and we enjoyed walking around the neighborhood.

  Cons:

  * Neighborhood: The area isn’t the cleanest and historically isn’t the safest. While I felt comfortable being with a group, others might find it a bit of a culture shock.

  * Not Ideal for NYC Access: While it’s not too far from the city, it’s not the most convenient option for those relying on public transportation to Manhattan. If you're looking for easy subway or bus access to NYC, this may not be the best choice.

  * Noise from Upstairs Neighbors: We could hear everything the people upstairs were saying and walking around, which was mostly late at night and could be disruptive.

  Overall: It was a good stay for our group, especially considering the space and affordability. The host was very responsive to any questions. However, if you’re seeking a quieter, more convenient location for NYC access, this may not be the best fit.

  The house itself was new and clean. The host’s responsiveness to our questions was quick. The place needs some more items to make it more comfortable such as: waste baskets in the bathrooms, more blankets, more kitchen utensils, wine bottle opener.

  The area around the house is dirty, getting food delivered was difficult.

  Hi Maria, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize if you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We understand that travel plans can change at the last minute and we apologize that we weren’t given enough notice to accommodate an extra guest that needed a new separate bed set up for them.
  - We do normally have extra blankets in the master bedroom’s closet but the home is not set up to quickly accommodate an extra bed and mattress for a last-minute guest that was added to the reservation.
  - As is standard in the vacation rental industry, the homeowner provides a starter amount of essential supplies for our guests. Generic products may be offered at times to accommodate all guest comfort and preferences.
  - We apologize if the products provided did not fit your needs. We are happy to take an inventory of the kitchen utensils and will be sure the kitchen has everything our guest may need during their stay.
  - While we do regret our home was not up to your expectations, we are happy to share that no issues were reported by the guests who stayed the following weekend.
  - Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to address these concerns.
