About this property

Spacious Sunny 2BR Apt: Walk to Shop, Eat & NYC Train

Experience Montclair from a spacious, private second-floor apartment in a beautifully maintained Victorian home that blends historic character with modern comfort.

The apartment offers a more traditional layout with high ceilings, original woodwork, generous living spaces, and plenty of room to settle in for a short visit or an extended stay.

Highlights

Two bedrooms with 1 king bed and 1 full size bed

Full bathroom

Large living room with comfortable sectional sofa

Separate full dining room

Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher

Dedicated workspace

High-speed Wi-Fi and smart TV

Quality linens and thoughtfully prepared accommodations

The full dining room and spacious living area make this apartment especially comfortable for couples, families, business travelers, longer stays, and guests visiting friends or relatives in the area.

Access

The apartment is located on the second floor of a historic Victorian home and is accessed by stairs. Guests climb approximately 15 outdoor steps to reach the private guest entrance, followed by approximately 6 indoor steps to the apartment. There is no elevator.

Garden Setting

The home is surrounded by a distinctive landscaped garden rather than a traditional front lawn. The garden is part of the character of the property and includes a variety of established and native-style plantings that many guests and neighbors especially enjoy.

Location

The apartment is conveniently located for enjoying Montclair. Guests can walk to nearby restaurants, cafés, shops, grocery stores, cultural attractions, and public transportation to New York City.

Whether you are visiting for business, spending time with family and friends, attending an event, relocating, or simply enjoying Montclair, the apartment provides a clean, comfortable and welcoming home base.

I prepare the space the way I would want to find a place when traveling myself: thoughtfully cared for, comfortable, and ready for you to settle in and feel at home.

Private Areas

Please note that the gated backyard and front porch are part of my private living space and are not available for guest access. Guests have their own private entrance and accommodations.

The apartment was very clean and nicely decorated. Sherry was very helpful with any questions we had. We were able to walk to nearby restaurants for our meals. Nice neighborhood of beautiful older homes. It was perfect for my wife and I and our grandson who was playing in a baseball tournament in the area. I would definitely recommend the apartment.

The best host ever! Have never stayed in a place with such a helpful, caring and responsive host! Sherry is amazing. And this home is perfect. Everything that you need. Close to great coffee shops, restaurants, things to do, Whole Foods walking distance. We stayed for 2 weeks and loved every minute even though this was a recuperation and recovery time for us. Great area, great host, great VRBO! Will stay again on next visit!

Lovely stay in convenient location

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Sherry's second floor condo. It had easy a chess through the side door and parking in a roomy lot behind the house. There was also a large fenced in yard my kids loved exploring. The unit itself was clean and inviting. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs and Sherry generously stocked it with plenty of drinks. The dining room table worked well for our 2 kids to do distance learning and the wifi was totally adequate for 4 of us to stream as needed. The living room was also very big so there was space for all of us to spread out. The bathroom is conveniently private and away from all the other spaces for privacy. Thankfully for us, Whole Foods is a 2 minute drive or 7-8 minute walk away, very close, so we could get necessary staples and prepared foods. There are also shops and restaurants in walking distance. We spent a week there and would highly recommend. Sherry was very responsive to emails and we spoke several times on site as well.

Sweet apartment in Montclair !

I couldn't have been happier with my stay! Beautiful tulips and chocolates greeted me upon arrival, and I was happy to discover the apartment was very cozy and SPOTLESS. Both beds were extremely comfortable, the neighborhood safe, and Whole Foods was close by. There's a comfy couch and a big screen TV, a dining room for those that want to cook and eat in, and a large well-appointed kitchen. Sherry was a lovely host, available if I had a question but also respectful of privacy. I highly recommend this apartment, you won't be disappointed!

About the host

Hosted by Sherry Blair

Host profile image
I was born and raised in New Jersey and have lived in this area my entire life. I love gardening, traveling—especially to the Caribbean—spending time with family and friends, and, of course, my pups.

Professionally, I have spent my career helping people and organizations, and I genuinely love work that allows me to support, connect with, and serve others.

I feel fortunate to live in this historic home, and in 2015 I decided to open part of it to short-term guests after regular renting since 1997. Since then, I have had the pleasure of welcoming people from across the United States and around the world.

Hosting has given me the opportunity to meet wonderful people who are here for so many different reasons—family visits, celebrations, work, travel, and new beginnings. It has been a meaningful and rewarding part of my life, and I take great pride in offering guests a comfortable, welcoming place to stay.

Why they chose this property

I chose to buy my home in Montclair in 1997 because I wanted to raise my son in a diverse, welcoming and supportive community.

I loved the character and energy of Montclair then, and over the years I have watched the town continue to grow and evolve while still keeping much of what originally drew me here.

Today, it is a vibrant place to live and visit, with wonderful restaurants, culture, shopping, community events and easy access to New York City. I feel fortunate to have called Montclair home for so many years and enjoy sharing the area with guests.

What makes this property unique

I genuinely try to do everything with love and attention, and I want guests to feel as though they are staying with a trusted friend or family member while still having the privacy and independence of their own apartment.

I especially love the architecture and warmth of older homes. This Victorian has the character, details and personality that newer properties often do not, while still offering the comforts guests need for an enjoyable stay.

The location is another part of what makes it special. You can walk to the train for easy access to New York City, head south and reach the Jersey Shore in about an hour, or travel west to enjoy hiking, mountains and some of New Jersey’s beautiful countryside.

Montclair itself offers an incredible variety of restaurants, cafés, shopping, culture and entertainment. From here, you can enjoy city, suburbs, beach and nature—all while having a comfortable home base to return to.
