Beautiful home
Very clean. Beautifully decorated. Plenty of room for the 9 of us. Had all that you could need in the kitchen, and then some. Coffee and tea are fully stocked, but ad says breakfast included, which is not the case, but that was okay. Plenty of towels for all. Beds are so so comfortable. We all slept so good. Close to train station and airport.

Convenient and clean
Our overall stay at the oasis was great and the host, Andre was very helpful before and during our stay. The space was clean and spacious. Located Very close to EWR airport. My only concern was the nearby trucking business toward the backyard. I would recommend staying at the Oasis.

SHU Graduation
Our Oklahoma family traveled to New Jersey to see our senior graduate from Seton Hall. The property was well appointed and close to train stations and most importantly an easy drive to the Prudential Center for graduation. Beds were comfortable and the space fit the 6 adults perfectly. I'd definitely recommend it for others needing proximity to Manhattan.

A very comfortable home!
The African Oasis was clean & very comfortable for our group of 8. The kitchen was spacious & stocked with dishes/cookware. The bathrooms were nice & clean. The beds & pillows were quite comfortable. The property is exactly as pictured. The location, right next to EWR, was perfect for my group.

Great property for large group
We were 11 people in this oasis. We appreciated the two floors and the two indoor parking spots. The property was very clean and well equipped. 2 showers and 3 restrooms were a must for 11. The property is about 15-20 minutes away by walk from North Elizabeth station. The train ride is about 30 minutes to NY Penn Station.

My family and I stayed for the weekend traveling from NC and the location exceeded our expectations. Andre was timely in answering all of our questions. The home was stocked with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were fit for a King. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

RARE IN NEWARK
Wow, I never leave reviews but I think this home deserves one 😩😍😍😍everything was on point and perfect. A high tech home. With a table you can just sit your phone on and charge. The bidet toilets were fascinating, it was my first time using a bidet lol I had fun with that. The host is the best, he left us a complimentary bottle of champagne, the house was full of snacks and food. We were never in need, the house was full of cleaning supplies and silverware and plates. I could go on about everything but just know it was money we’ll spent, felt like I was in a mansion. Definitely book this house, a pure vacation rental. I’m still reminiscing!
