Spacious Living with City Views!
Elsie’s apartment is simply amazing! Very well located, well equipped, calm neighborhood. The bus stop is just 50 meters away and in 15 minutes you are at the center of Manhattan! Great communication, we got all the responses immediately. Lovely welcome with vine and flowers. In few words, we spent wonderful 10 days there! Thank you, Elsie!

My second time staying here, it was great as before. The special touch on top of the beautiful place, is how kind and helpful Alan is. Definitely recommend this stay to other guests!

Best NYC View! - Cozy 2 bed with Balcony & Patio
L'appartement est agréable et les lits confortables. La vue sur Manhattan depuis la fenêtre du salon est juste incroyable. C'est très facile d'accéder à New York en 15/20mn par des bus directs qui passent régulièrement à 2 pas ou via le ferry. Notre hôte a toujours été amical, disponible et réactif lors de nos échanges. Nous recommandons ce logement.

Prachtige locatie, met geweldig uitzicht vanaf het terras. Host reageerde altijd snel en vriendelijk. Prima busverbinding met de stad, 30 min tijdens spits en 15-20 min buiten de spits.

Charming Brownstone Retreat Minutes from NYC
stayed for a business trip but would also be good for a trip with the family. In a quiet neighborhood, but three blocks from restaurants and shopping. Also a short walk to the path train to go into NYC. highly recommend

Oasis on the Hudson: NYC Views & Vibes
Jamie was great!! She always responded quickly and resolved anything we needed quickly as well! The apartment was great, fit 5 of us well and looked exactly like the pictures she posted. The area was wonderful for our NYC trip — very close to a bus stop and made our travels easy. I would definitely stay here again!!

Modern 3 Bed 2 Bath Home With Parking | 2 min LGA
This was my family's first time in New York, along with the two friends who traveled with me. Staying in Prince's property felt like being at home. From the start of the booking process and through departure, Prince was always available to answer questions and made me feel at ease that the location we were staying in was safe, clean, and family-friendly. The amenities in this home made it so that we could save money cooking some of our meals in the beautiful and well-equipped and well-stocked kitchen. The house is TWO MINUTES from La Guardia, but the home has double-paned windows so you won't hear airplanes flying overhead. I will definitely stay here again with my family the next time I'm in Queens!

We had a great time at Andrew’s. The location is perfect for views, walks, restaurants and access to the Sandy Hook Beach. Great stay, great host!

New York City Vacation Rental
The place is beautiful specially for night city view . Quite place . House is very clean everything and host is very friendly and respectful and responsible. I recommend it’s best for summer because you can enjoy river view on board and fresh air . Winters it’s very cold for close to river for air . We had fun and we enjoyed. Pretty quiet place. Lovely . Thanks

Beautiful 3 bedroom Private Home 15 mins from NY
We had a great stay at this Airbnb. Joseph and family were very welcoming. It was easy to find And Easy to park in the gated driveway. Definitely an extra perk to have your car parked there behind the gate. The courtyard is very nice with a glass table and chairs to enjoy. The Dog on the property was sleepy and nice! The basketball hoop and basketball for my son was great! The house was extremely clean! Very nice linens, lots of extra towels. The place definitely had everything we needed! Joseph was very patient and easy to communicate with, as we were super confused about the bus schedule and how to buy tickets, but he took lots of time to explain everything to us! The location is really great to get into New York City. The bus comes right outside the front of the house and it takes about 20 minutes to get to Times Square! There’s a little shop you can see from the front of the house that you can get necessities and there is a great little Colombian restaurant near by so delicious!

Beach and Bay Getaway in Sandy Hook NJ- 3BDRM
Ready for an escape? Look no further! Dan’s place is a walk through history in a beautiful, scenic mix of beach and wilderness. I am a local and booked this stay over the week between Christmas and new years as a respite while we renovated our new home about 30 minutes away. Dan’s place is amazing, the scenery is surreal. The sunrise and sunsets are a do not miss. The lighthouse is your backyard and the bay with afternoon seal sightings are your front. 5 minute walk to the pub, easy access to all trails for bike riding and walking. Our kids and dogs had a blast. Lots of deer, foxes, birds. Truly felt like we were worlds away but only 30 minutes from our doorstep. Can only imagine the summertime here, but we soaked it up in the winter too. The house has preserved historic charm with modern updates, everything you need. We will be back!

Great location, everything as shown and prompt replies from host. Thank you for hosting us Ashley!

Beach house 40 min ferry to NYC
Catherine was a fantastic host! She left us local restaurant menus and activities to do in the area on the table when we arrived! She was also super helpful with any questions we had and quick responses! The house was gorgeous and had a great view of the water! Would 100% book again!!

NEW! Family-Friendly Keansburg Home: Walk to Beach

Lakefront Log Cabin!
Michelle’s place was absolutely adorable! I really felt relaxed and comfortable. I slept well in the bed. The amenities in the kitchen were perfect for a short stay and the lake was lovely.

Private bed with views of NYC
Estefany’s home is beautiful with an epic Hudson & Manhatten overlook. We were greeted at the door with a warm welcome, a quick tour, and a pristinly clean space. The best part was the NJ transit stop was right outside the door that went directly to Time Square. I'd stay here again and again.

CONDO LIKE NO OTHER |SAUNA|OCEAN VIEW | POOL TABLE
The condo is spectacular and the host was very gracious and helpful! Note: there are alot of stairs to climb. We were unaware of this prior to checking in and my mother was unable to make it up the stairs due to her recent hip surgery. So please note there are stairs and it's not handicapped accessible. Otherwise great stay! Thanks!

City style apartment, Beach Passes Included
If you are looking to explore New York for a few days or longer then Jay's place is great. Just a few minutes from the Long Beach station, Penn or Grand Central are about an hour away on a direct LIRR train. You will save $$$ by staying here compared with Manhattan. Long Beach is a safe, full of interesting shops. The 10km boardwalk is just a few minutes away. The apartment of character in a listed building full of charm. Loved the well stocked kitchen and would not hesitate to come back again.

Cozy Stylish retreat - NYC & NWK w/free parking
Great host. Very responsive and was able to work out an early check in with me. Beautiful view of the city and very peaceful area. Definitely recommend!

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.

If ever in the area will definitely try to book again. Area parking was the only issue. Other than that it was a top tier space. Blessings 🙏🏽
