This home is beautifully restored by one of Jersey City's top designers. There are original Hardwood Floors throughout the home, 10ft ceilings, great natural sunlight and a designated work space.
This bedroom shares a bathroom with another bedroom we rent in our home. We offer a shared kitchen and living space and onsite parking for a fee.
We take pride in offering a safe space that accepts PEOPLE of ALL religions, beliefs, or backgrounds. We have many returning solo female travelers.
The space
When you stay with us, you're stepping into more than just a home; you're entering a space filled with warmth, intention, and care. In a world that can sometimes feel rushed or unkind, we believe in offering genuine hospitality rooted in kindness and comfort.
We hope our photos capture the energy of the space - calm, positive, and welcoming. What pictures may not show, you will feel once you are here (or you can read our reviews lol).
--No Visitors--
We do not allow any visitors inside the home except the 2 individuals staying in the room.
--Stairs to Enter home--
This apartment is located on the second floor of the home. Please note that guests will need to use stairs both to enter the home and to access the apartment upstairs.
--Size of the Home--
This spacious home, originally built in 1901, offers historic charm and character. Please note: that while the bedroom is a comfortable standard size, the bathroom is more compact — a common feature in homes of this era.”
--Shared Space--
The kitchen and living space are shared spaces that we will be using as well. Although we hope it would not matter, we are a gay couple who reside in the home. This is a shoeless home and we ask that guests take off their shoes when entering the home.
--Early Check-In & Check-Out Policy--
We’re happy to offer early check-in when available! For a $30 fee, guests may check in as early as 12:00 PM or 1:00 PM, depending on the day’s schedule. This must be requested and paid at least 24 hours prior to arrival to ensure proper coordination.
Please note: Late check-out is not available, as we need time to prepare the space for incoming guests.
--Travel-- (more details in Other Details Section)
Our home is very accessible to most traveler destinations.
--Parking--
Street parking is free.
All of Jersey City has a 4 Hr parking without a permit. While they do not enforce it often, you’d be parking on the street at your discretion. We are not responsible for any tickets guests’ receive.
If you do decide to park on the street, we recommend to move your car daily into a new spot. It's a lot easier to park before 6pm and after that it is difficult to park.
We also offer a parking spot for $20 per night should you choose that option. It gives guests a piece of mind and the freedom of returning late and not having to search for parking. Parking must be booked and paid for in advance and we cannot offer same day parking.
Guest access
The code to the front entrance and apartment entrance will always be the same 4 digit number followed by a #.
Your entrance code will be sent to you on the afternoon of checkin.
