About this property
Spacious 3 bed 2 bath with free parking and easy NYC transportation
Enjoy room for your family to spread out, just an easy walk from NYC transportation and with free parking for one car. This spacious home features three bedrooms: two with queen beds, and one with a twin bed and trundle. We also have a pack n play crib and high chair available. Recently updated bathrooms: downstairs full bath has a standup shower, and the upstairs full bath has a large bathtub with shower. This is an older home with a gravel driveway, some uneven flooring transitions, and curving staircase, so please keep accessibility needs in mind if mobility will be a challenge for any guests.
Large living room with sectional couch, armchairs, and TV, plus full-size dining room with seating for six. The eat-in kitchen has lots of counter space and all new appliances. Amenities include full-size laundry machines (located in the unfinished basement), free parking for one car, and use of the huge front porch.
This is a typical city neighborhood, not gentrified, and a little rough around the edges. Please research the location before booking. We live just a few doors down with our two young children and always feel safe and comfortable, but if you are looking for a suburban or luxury feel, this home probably won't be a good fit for you. This is a two-family home, with the rear unit owner-occupied.
Sit on the porch and enjoy your coffee in the morning, then take an easy walk to the light rail and enjoy a day of sightseeing in New York City. Citi Bikes are located right on the corner of our block. Easily bike, drive, or take the light rail to nearby Liberty State Park for incredible views of the Statue of Liberty, New York Harbor, and both Manhattan and Brooklyn; beautiful running, walking, and biking paths; fun playgrounds; and delicious food trucks. American Dream Mall is a short drive away, with an ice rink, giant Ferris wheel, aquarium, Lego Land, Nickelodeon indoor theme park, and more. Liberty Science Center is a must if you’re visiting with kids (or just like to nerd out over planetariums and dinosaurs!). Our neighborhood also features beautiful Berry Lane Park just a ten-minute walk away, Torico Ice Cream across from the park playground, and easy access to downtown Jersey City with tons of great restaurants and local shopping.
We are local parents and we've stocked this home with your family in mind! Coffee maker ready to go with filters and beans; basic pots, pans, dinnerware, and utensils; kids dinnerware; spices for cooking; and toiletries in the bathrooms. The living room features board games, puzzles, and coffee table books for cozy nights in. Baby crib, high chair, and stroller are also available on request.
Pets under 20 pounds welcome! Please let us know if you are bringing your furry friend, we are happy to set up doggie bowls for you. Must keep dog on leash when outside.
One outdoor security camera is in use in the back yard.

We had an amazing stay. The location of the house is perfect, and everything was as listed. The hosts were attentive, and quick to respond. A perfect home away from home.
Great place! Appreciated the sign on the garage for parking as we arrived at night. Very clean and comfortable. The owner's description of the home and area is very accurate. Overall, parking was very convenient, it is close to the train to get to Manhattan and being close to Liberty Park was a plus.
Beautiful home! The host was wonderful and quick to respond with any issues we had. Onsite parking was a great asset. Easy walk to public transportation and the neighborhood felt safe even for late night walks back from the train. Thanks for a wonderful home base for our family vacation.
Awesome property in historic neighborhood with easy access to light rail/Liberty State Park and Ride. Spacious bedrooms and common rooms with functional kitchen that has all you need while away from home. Host is friendly, engageable, and available; we loved them! Several easily accessible eateries in the neighborhood that did not disappoint. This property made our visit to NYC easy and enjoyable!

We loved hosting you and so glad you had a great stay!
We really enjoyed this property. It had a ton of character and was relaxing to come back to after a day in the city. The walk to public transit was pretty short and it was easy to get into the city. The street parking situation was crazy so it was great to have the reserved spot to not have to worry about parking. It was clean and the kitchen was well stocked too.

Thanks for the kind review and being such great guests!
I recommend this place for the adventurous. If you are used to new neighborhoods with newer houses, this is probably not the place for you. The house is over 175 years old and much of the original character is in tact. It’s kinda/sorta remodeled. The stairs are steep and narrow. Not recommended for anyone who has problems going up or down stairs. Lastly, there are areas in the neighborhood that we were told to avoid (two different people told us this, so not knowing the area, we listened.)It is a nice house and it’s an easy walk to Bergen-Hudson light rail, which makes it easy to get into the city. The host was great and when we had an issue with the electronic lock, they were right there to take care of it! It was a wonderful place to stay for a group of friends coming from all over the world. We would gladly stay here again.

Thanks so much for staying with us and your thoughtful review! Glad you found the maps and gadgets helpful.
We were a small school group and this house was perfect for us. Everything was as advertised and easy to check in and communicate with hosts. Amber was very responsive, was quick to answer questions, and was very helpful!

Thanks so much for the review! We loved hosting your group.
I appreciated how the house came with plenty of bedding, and little comforts like coffee creamer, herbal tea, lotion, bathing soaps, and tissues. We spent most of our week in NYC, but it was nice to have a home base to return to each night with comfortable beds, 2 bathrooms, dining, and living room. When traveling with a while family, having a whole house to ourselves was really nice. Thank you!
We had a wonderful time learning about the history of your house! It’s beautiful!Perfect location for sightseeing of Ellis Island and the Statue of liberty. We all were very comfortable. Thanks!

So glad you enjoyed your stay and learning about the house! It’s a fun spot with a lot of history.
Extremely nice, historic feeling home! They have done a magnificent job of blending old and new styles! Lots of space, very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Hosts were quick to reply to all our questions and superb to work with! Public transportation into NYC was close and easy to navigate. We loved being able to bring our kids to the big apple at Christmastime! Thank you!

Thanks for staying with us and for your kind review! We love showing off the historic home and glad it worked for your family’s holiday visit.
The house was absolutely beautiful and full of character. We loved the decor—it truly made us feel right at home. It was colder than we expected, but we’re from California, so anything below 50 felt very cold! Mike and Amber were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Thank you.

Thanks so much for staying and reviewing us, and for bearing with our cold snap here in NJ!
this was one of the best places we have ever stayed and was absolutely a highlight of our trip. Every detail was so thoughtful, and the house was beautiful. There was so much space for each of our girls and us, the rooms were beautifully laid out, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We loved playing their games and watching movies after long days of exploring New York. It was easy to walk to the light rail stop.

About the host
Hosted by Mike Covucci
Hi! We’re Amber and Mike, longtime Jersey City locals and history enthusiasts. We’ve lived in Jersey City, commuting into New York, for almost two decades and we love to share tips and tricks for both sides of the Hudson River.
Why they chose this property
Bergen-Lafayette is friendly, laid back, and full of active families. Gorgeous views of the Statue of Liberty and easy access to New York, but just a little removed from the hustle and bustle.
What makes this property unique
This is our forever home and we are in the process of lovingly restoring it. This was the first house built in the area in the 1860s, before the rest of the neighborhood went up around it. It’s a farmhouse still standing in the middle of a city block! Unique and historical.
