Perfect Place for our Visit

We loved the location of this apartment (close to 2 PATH stations into NYC), and the host Carlos was very hospitable. The apartment itself was also perfect for our stay.

Great location!

I was home visiting friends and family for the first time in a decade and this property had everything I needed for a busy week and was right in the middle of all the locations I visited in the tri state area. I will definitely make this my place of choice when visiting home.

Emplacement idéal!

Logement très bien situé; à proximité de tout! Toutefois, nous y étions un peu à l’étroit (3 adultes et 1 ado de 16 ans). Pas de stationnement, Il faut utiliser l’un des nombreux stationnements publics à proximité $. Je n’ai malheureusement jamais eu de réponse à la question envoyée aux propriétaires.

Magnifique Appartement

Amazing apartment in New Jersey, 10 minutes away from Manhattan. The owners were extremely nice and attentive with any questions we had. It’s such a short walking distance to Grove At metro station that takes you directly to Manhattan. We’ll definitely go back on our next visit! Magnifique appartement à New Jersey, 10 minutes en train de New York. Les propriétaires étaient extrêmement gentils et serviables avec toutes les questions que nous avions.

We're very active couple with a kid. We're engage in all winter sports and during the summer we sail, surf, paddle boarding, hike, and windsurf. One of us is learning how to play tennis.

Why they chose this property

Experience a unique historic neighborhood 15 minutes from downtown Manhattan and 25 minutes to midtown

What makes this property unique

Lower accommodation prices than Manhattan and still very close and convenient to reach any part of the city. For work and events, even staying in parts of Manhattan would not guarantee you the closeness to downtown at affordable prices.
