Spacious Living with City Views!
Very clean apartment in a great location. Inside the apartment there was everything you needed. Great communication with the owner. A nice surprise in the form of wine and flowers. I highly recommend. Thank you

City Views Penthouse NYC in 5min
Cute place, well located. Nice views, spacious. Will stay there again. Hoboken forever!

15 min Commute to Times Square! Garage Parking!
Staying at Alan’s apartment was a seamless experience from start to finish. It’s an easy commute to and from New York City, especially if you plan to spend time in Midtown Manhattan. The apartment itself was very large, clean, tasteful, and quiet at night. Additionally, Alan was very communicative and responsive, which we greatly appreciated. Instructions were also very clear. I would definitely recommend this arrangement, and I plan to come back again!

Best NYC View! - Cozy 2 bed with Balcony & Patio
We loved staying at KD's place! The pathway along the river is very pretty and the view across of Manhattan is stunning! There was plenty of room for the 3 of us, place was stylish and comfortable. Walking distance to great restaurants and the ferry, train and buses to get across the river. Highly recommend staying here, thank you!

Manhattan view 3-bedroom apartment
Great spot with an amazing view, plus parks, spas, and a nice plaza close by. Overall, a great stay! The host was super responsive and always tried to help. The only hiccup was that it was freezing the first couple of days, but things warmed up eventually—mostly thanks to the weather. BUT if you’re driving, never block the downstairs garage, even for a quick drop-off. The neighbor downstairs is not friendly and actually threatened to call the cops when I was just dropping off food for my mom. There was literally nowhere else to park, so I left a quick note, but still—no luck. To avoid the hassle, get a visitor pass—the process is super easy, just five blocks away. And make sure to come back earlier than 10 pm, that way you can find some street parking.

Historic Downtown Extended Stay - NYC Access
I wish I could gatekeep this place for myself, but everyone coming to NJ and looking for an Airbnb needs to stay here. Lou was an elite host; he was so responsive and friendly. His place was more than I expected, the three bedrooms and loft was so spacious, everything was in immaculate condition and VERY clean. My 14-year-old son had his own private space in the loft, and he was ecstatic (I only saw him when it was time for meals lol). Very convenient location, close to all major highways and walkable to multiple restaurants (the farmers market was an added bonus). The house had every amenity you would need, I felt like I was at home. 10/10, this will be my go-to place when I am in NJ.

Beach Front Escape - Rockaway Beach NYC
John’s place is absolutely amazing. The location is perfect! It’s at the entry to the beach and walking distance to fun surf shops, coffee shops, happening restaurants, stop and shop and even a Dunkin’ Donuts. It’s easy to ride into the city. The ferry was our favorite part of every trip to and from manhattan! The place is super spacious and comfortable. John is friendly and helpful and gave us tips for local restaurants and even suggested what ended up being our favorite - sunset trips on the ferry! He was extremely responsive and available if needed for anything. I can’t wait to come back with the family. We had the best time and John and his place were vital to that experience!

Beautiful home in Hoboken
Wonderful house in a lively though quiet neighbourhood. Wonderful Manhattan skyline views from the riverside promenade (a few step away from the house). The house Itself is clean, modern and fully equipped. Comfortably accommodates 8. Our kids were delighed to find some toys from the landlord’s daughters. The house is fully furnished and also ideal for families whishing to enjoy a home away from home. Many restaurants in a walking distance for those who prefer to explore food from different cultures. Benjamin is very kind and prompt to respond to any requests. I would definitely suggest this solution as a base to explore the big apple avoiding the bugs!!!

LargePrivate guest suite in bayfront house
The apartment met all expectations. I felt very comfortable. The bed was insanely comfortable so I could sleep very well. Of course, the way to Manhattan from Rockaway Beach is not the shortest, but I knew that in advance. Within 75 minutes I was "in the middle" of whether I went by train or boat. Supermarket and the recommended "restaurant" are also within walking distance (5 minutes). Even as a woman traveling alone, I felt safe in the area. The fact that you were on the beach within a few minutes' walk in the most beautiful weather was rounded off.

Spanish Gem Meets NYC Vibe
Absolutely loved our stay at this stunning Airbnb with a breathtaking view of the New York City skyline! Yojaira’s place was beautiful, spacious, and spotless. Most importantly very close to NYC. Parking was a bit challenging as the street parking was always full. We found a parking spot on the street that was a few minutes of walking distance at only $4/day. We didn't move the car the entire weekend as we did not want to deal with find another parking spot. We used Uber and had no trouble getting around. We were very comfortable in her place with my wife and two adult children. Both kids had their own bedroom, which was very convenient. The location was ideal as well—close to everything with public transportation just a short walk away. Yojaira was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, making sure we had everything that we needed during our stay. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay close to NYC, and we’ll definitely be back next time we're in town. Highly recommend!

Private bed with views of NYC
My girlfriend and I spent an amazing winter holiday in these apartments while visiting NYC. The location is very convenient: a bus stop is right outside the door, and it takes only about 20-25 minutes to get to Manhattan by bus. Estefany and her mother, Athia, are some of the kindest and most hospitable people we’ve ever met – always friendly and incredibly responsive. The apartments provided the perfect place to relax after long days of walking through the bustling city. Thanks to our wonderful hosts, our trip was truly memorable. Highly recommend!

Modern High-Rise 2B/2B Apartment With a VIEW

The CozyQ | 5 Min to City | Entire Private Floor!
We had a fantastic 5-day stay at Clarissa and Hector’s lovely apartment. From the moment we arrived, they were incredibly welcoming and accommodating—truly wonderful hosts who made us feel right at home. The location was perfect for us: just a short distance from the city, but quiet and peaceful, which was exactly what we needed. One morning, my son used a little too much brute force trying to lock the door and unfortunately broke the key in the lock. Clarissa and Hector were so understanding and cool about it—no stress at all—and had a new key for us the very next day. Their kindness and laid-back approach really stood out. Highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting NYC, and we’ll absolutely be back next time we’re in town!

Serene Oasis - NYC & NWK w/free parking
This home was SO beautiful. You can tell it’s well taken care of. It smelled WONDERFUL! The shower was perfect (I am huge on staying in locations with nice showers!) I was able to get back and forth to New York quickly and easily with little toll fee amounts. The coffee shop downstairs was AMAZING! The home easily warmed up when turning on the heat. It was even better than the pictures. When I come to New York or the outskirts again I will definitely book again in the future. Thank you again for being great hosts and answering all questions I needed no matter the time. I HIGHLY recommend this location. Thank you! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Fantastic stay for 4 – Heart of Hoboken!
The apartment is located in a perfect location, close to the Hudson River with amazing views across to the manhattan skyline. Transport links were great too - we were able to get across to manhattan for all the sightseeing trips we had booked quickly and smoothly. AJ was an excellent host. Very quick to respond and so helpful with our enquiries. All his responses and instructions were very clear. We would recommend this property to friends and family.
