Hoboken Brownstone - parlor and upper level
So there are apparently not enough characters allowed in the review to fully express our pleasure staying at this wonderful place. We have stayed in multiple Airbnbs with our business the past five years and this particular one is in the top three. Upon approach, take in the charming brownstones and tree lined streets. Once you open the door, you are greeted with natural light filled space with a chefs kitchen. The decor is modern, yet not stark. The added elements, such as the exposed brick and wood, emanate a warmth and coziness. The outdoor back space is just right, but sitting on the front steps is the best because you meet all kinds of charming characters around the neighborhood. Upstairs are two bedrooms, each with dream bathrooms, right down to the showerheads. beds were SO comfortable and perfect for melting into a deep sleep after a day in Manhattan. Favs:bathrooms, kitchen island, neighborhood shops and cafes, argh there’s not enough room left just book it already!!

Designer Cottage on historic estate -NYC nearby
Mark’s little cottage was absolutely awesome. It was authentic in every way. We had everything we needed. Mark was extremely proactive. We hope to have the opportunity to stay there again when visiting our son who just moved to the area. It literally is a must see!

10min from EWR/Cozy 3Bd-2Bth 40min to NY.
Place was clean and super close to the airport a busy noisey . Luis was responsive and even allowed us early checkin

Minutes to NYC-1200sf Duplex Centrally Located
We arrived at Mengli's apartment after a very long journey and it was so nice to see everything was as described. The apartment was spotlessly clean, lots of towels, great hand soap/toiletries and comfortable beds. Mengli was very responsive and proactive. She checked in with us to make sure everything was ok and to offer recommendations for our itinerary. The apartment is very well situated for all shops and restaurants with only a short walk to the main street. Finally, we were allowed to store our luggage until our taxi arrived. Hoboken is an ideal place to stay when visiting New York as it is very easy to get into the city. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mengli's apartments to anyone visiting. I'm very glad we chose to stay there, it couldn't have been a better experience.

Home away from home
Host was so sweet and very helpful! Very quick response time as well. Home was not just clean and organized, but the host personalized the space to make us not only feel welcome, but right at home. Definitely recommend for others!

Cozy & Modern -2 BR near NYC, American Dream.
I love space, I feel at home. 10/10 I would recommend.

3BR Duplex W/Rooftop (NYC Views) & Garage Parking
Dev & Jackie were great hosts, and their house was just wonderful. It could not have been better for our group of 6. The house was very modern, well appointed, and truly comfortable. All communications were very quick responded to, and with a friendly upbeat tone. Would highly recommend if you are visiting Jersey City or the region.

SkyDeck Penthouse Rooftop Views of NYC! Near PATH!
Rich & Kim were very responsive and place was exactly as described. I always travel with my family and we love to have our reliable transportation (own car). If only the location allowed for reliable or allocated parking, definitely it would all check out 120/100 but of course, i would still recommend this place.
Jersey City condominium rentals

Stylish Liberty Condo | 20-Min to NYC | Skyline
We had a wonderful 5 day stay at Raquel's place. The house is neat, stylish and in a very secure environment. The rooms, towels and sheets were clean and hygienic. The kitchen was very well equipped that we barely had to buy anything for cooking. There was a quaint little table for two, which is good to have evening or morning coffee in. Since there is two doors for the unit, one black and one teal, the place is super secure. It is also very conveniently near to public transports and has good connectivity to most of the places. The host was super responsive and kind. She went out of her way to make us feel at home and comfortable during our stay. We'd definitely book with her again. 10/10 would recommend for everyone

New JC Condo - 2BR, 2Bath, 1 Sofa bed, Backyard
Great place to stay, clean and has everything you need. Hosts were very responsive and helpful! Only downsides were trying to find parking and also the upstairs unit of the duplex were very noisy.

City stay in Hoboken - spacious
Aj's Airbnb is extremely quiet and in a fabulous location near Stevens and all of the restaurants on Washington Street. The apartment is spacious with a super comfy sofa and great view of a church steeple out of the windows. The bed is also comfortable and the bedroom has a lot of storage with two closets and a dresser--I appreciated the full length mirror as well. The elevator is such a bonus when traveling with luggage and the wide, open staircase is also very nice for coming and going. AJ was very receptive and responsive when I contacted him with a question.

10 minutes to NYC | 3Bed/3Bath |Private Backyard
We stayed for a week in May and had a wonderful stay. The condo was exactly as described. Laurie was very responsive and answered all of our questions to make the stay more enjoyable. The condo is within walking distance of most things in Hoboken and very convenient to the Hoboken train station for going into NYC. Overall a great stay!

Grate place fantastic 👍

Cozy Apt Dwntwn JC, 8 mins to NYC(APT 2)
Beautiful place in the heart of a family neighbourhood. Safe and quiet with everything you need within ealking distance. Vanessa's place was clean and comfortable and my wife and I enjoyed our 3 night stay. We would return without hesitation.

2BR Brownstone by NYC Free Parking & PrivateEntry
Excellent location. Beautiful apartment with every amenity you could ask for. Loved it!!!

True 2-bed - 20 mins to NYC! Luxury Brownstone
I had a fantastic stay! The apartment was exactly as described clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The location was perfect, with easy access to local attractions, restaurants, and public transport. Communication with the host was smooth and timey they were kind, attentive, and made sure everything was just right during my visit. It truly felt like a home away from home. I’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Designer studio-center of it all
Dianna’s place looked exactly like the pictures! It had everything you ever needed for a mini vacation (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrushes, razors, sound machine, ear plugs, water bottles, Brita, phone chargers, etc.). The location was perfect with plenty of restaurants, grocery stores and the view of NYC! I would recommend this Airbnb to anyone that needs a home away from home for a few days.

Nice Apt -10 minutes to Manhattan
We had a wonderful stay at this apartment! The space itself was very nice - clean, comfortable, and just as described. The neighborhood was lovely and felt safe, with plenty of restaurants and shops just a short walk away. One of the best features was the location: it’s just a quick walk to the PATH stations, making it incredibly easy to get into Manhattan-only a 5-minute ride to WTC station. This made exploring NYC super convenient. Overall, we highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located place to stay with great amenities nearby. We’d be happy to stay here again!

Victorian Brownstone Private 1BR, 15 minute to NYC
We couldn't have asked for a better "home base" from which to explore New York City and the surrounding area. Hoboken is a lovely, walkable community with easy access to Manhattan and great restaurants and recreational areas in its own right. Our hosts communicated well and thought of everything we would need, down to providing umbrellas in case we needed them on a rainy day and forgot to bring our own. The home was clean and beautifully appointed in a historic area, and our hosts were welcoming and responsive without being intrusive. We really couldn't have asked for more, and I highly recommend this home to anyone traveling to NYC.

Lovely Private Garden Apartment Minutes From NYC !
The house is even nicer than the pictures. The neighborhood is quiet and family-friendly. It's a great option to rest after a busy day in Manhattan. There are places nearby to buy food and drinks at a good price. Close to Hoboken where you can dine or have a drink with the best view of the skyline. Emily and Marcos were always willing to help us and resolved our concerns very quickly. If there was a prize for the best hosts, they would undoubtedly win it! Thank you for making us feel at home. We'll be back!

Your guide to Jersey City
All About Jersey City
Jersey City, set across the Hudson River from Lower Manhattan, is one of the largest cities in the state of New Jersey. The city’s walking paths and parks along the waterfront are some of its biggest draws, offering stunning views of the Statue of Liberty and a clear panoramic view of New York City’s towering skyline. For a closer look at the Statue of Liberty, you can take a short ride from Jersey City’s port across the Hudson to Liberty Island. The port is also the access point to another iconic landmark — the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration, where artifacts like lost luggage and old photographs represent the more than 12 million immigrants who’ve passed through the island.
Further inland, Jersey City’s Historic Downtown neighborhood is lined with late-Victorian brick buildings that house independent boutiques, designer dog treats, and antique furniture. Newark Avenue’s pedestrian-only block is home to artisanal eateries and unique shops as well as outdoor markets. With regular, fast trains to Manhattan, Jersey City is also a convenient and affordable home base for exploring the Big Apple.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Jersey City
Summers are warm and humid and usually see the most rain of the year. In summer, street festivals are in full swing, and the city’s JC Fridays offer free open-door art exhibits in galleries, restaurants, and conference spaces across Jersey City. Fall brings cool and comfortable temperatures as well as the All About Downtown Street Fair event, which hosts more than 100 vendors, including eateries and gelato stands along with booths with handmade jewelry and crafts.
Winters are usually frigid and snowy in Jersey City. The Happy Holiday Market takes place through December, where vendors sell handmade goods. Spring is warm and pleasant during the day and can get cold at night. Groove on Grove’s outdoor free weekly concert series begins this time of year, with musical performances for all ages plus a makers’ market.

Liberty State Park
The 1,200-acre Liberty State Park’s waterfront path is best explored by bike, with the Manhattan skyline providing a stunning backdrop.

This two-million-square-foot cultural center is housed in a former 1920s warehouse that’s been converted into a modern, bright art space.
