PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately at this time, due to entrance size, I am not able to offer wheelchair accessibility. I'm sorry for the inconvenience
PLEASE NOTE: PAYPAL is no longer accepted by this host to pay booking balance due to the high cost of transfer fees. Please use CASH or REVOLUT or WISE or any of the payment options noted in the payment section below. Thanks
Hello my friends, my apartment is small but well maintained. It is very cozy and clean. It is fully equipped with dishes, pots and pans, blender, coffee maker, toaster, large stove / oven and refrigerator. All linens, bath towels, body soap, shampoo and conditioner are included. The common area and bathroom is shared with the host only
The printer is accessible over WiFi with most devices for guests needing to conduct business
I offer TV with local channels and your room is equipped with Netflix, HULU, and free high-speed WiFi. There is no mess or clutter because I like to keep things simple. I'm an empty-nester as my only son graduated from NJIT university, found his own flat and started a new career at Tesla.
NOTE: Bed size is a standard U.S. Queen Size (80 inches X 60 inches = 203.2 CM X 152.4 CM)
I am a 55 year old man who is very friendly, sociable and happy to host. As a former Airbnb manager I have gained lots of experience hosting (Se habla Español). It really is a home away from home and you will always be treated as family.
With plenty of local transportation just 1.5 blocks away you can travel to New York City Port Authority Bus & Subway Terminal (also known as Times Square & 42St). From there the sky is the limit as to where you can go in NYC..... 42nd Street (Times Square), Empire State Building, One World Observatory, Intrepid Air & Space Museum, Central Park, Stature Of Liberty, 9/11 Memorial & Museum, Rockefeller Center, MOMA.... the list is endless! All points in Lower, Mid & Upper Manhattan
On a nice day you can walk 25 minutes to the Port Imperial Ferry (Weehawken, NJ) which will take you to Wall Street/Pier 11 and so much more. Please visit nywaterway.com for fares, routes and schedules.
Please note that currently the NYC Metro Card for subway/busses are not accepted on NJ Transit busses. NJ Transit passes (Flex Pass = multiple bus rides) may be purchased at Port Authority for use on any NJ Transit bus. These passes are offered at 20% discount versus paying cash on bus. Once here, I recommend the NJ & MTA Transit Apps which gives you up-to-the-minute New Jersey/New York Transit scheduling/tracking information to/from and within NYC/NJ
Once you board the bus for NYC it usually takes about 20 -25 minutes from home, depending on traffic, to reach Port Authority NY. In NYC there are a variety of transportation options to take you to the 5 boroughs of Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan and Staten Island.
If you just want to spend some time in our local area you'll find plenty of great restaurants and shopping in the immediate vicinity all within walking distance of home. The NJ Light Rail is located just several blocks from here if you fancy a trip to the Newport Center shopping Mall In Jersey City, Liberty Science Center or Liberty State Park.
For folks attending events at Met Life Stadium in NJ, you're just 35 minutes from home via bus or 15 - 20 minutes by car.
** VERY IMPORTANT LOCAL AIRPORT INFORMATION: If at all possible I recommend traveling through JFK Airport (New York), LGA Airport (New York) or Stewart Airport (SWF) and AVOID NEWARK AIRPORT (EWR) because it is rated the worst airport in our area for public transportation. Starting October 2022 Newark (EWR) will be removed from the "NYC City Code" which means it will no longer be considered part of the NYC Airport System. The consequences may be higher prices all around, including with local transportation. It is currently very difficult and expensive to use any type of local transit when traveling from EWR to our surrounding cities***
PAYMENT: Balance due payment arrangements must be made immediately after completing booking by contacting the host. Balance can be paid via REVOLUT, Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, WISE or CASH upon arrival.
All booking requests made at last moment (within 14 days of arrival) must be paid in full within 24 hours of booking. Cancellations or no-shows for LAST MINUTE bookings will NOT be refunded. No-show bookings will be cancelled at midnight on scheduled arrival day. (This applies to "last minute" bookings only)
**Checks, Money Orders and Western Union are not accepted**
No car service is provided.
Thanks and Happy Travels!

About the Area
(Walking Tour Video) https://youtu.be/Amm1VkMuMyI?si=6gS8dPuTki039lwg This is a quiet area with many restaurants and shopping. The bus stop for buses to and from New York City is just a 1 minute walk away. As of Feb. 2024 we now have a large paid public parking garage just around the corner from home at a cost of $5.00 per day after 9PM (Evening) to 7AM (Morning). Parking pass can be purchased on site or using the West New York Parking App. There are also charging spots available for electric vehicles but the charge output is a bit slow. In June 2024 New York City will be charging additional tolls (NYC Congestion Pricing) in addition to regular tolls for vehicles entering or traveling within the City making it very expensive to use personal vehicle within certain areas (Please Google search "NYC Congestion Pricing Plan" for updated information). There are several area parks, one of which offers breathtaking views of the New York skyline. Many shopping and dining options in our area are all within walking distance if you do not want to travel to New York. To our home from Port Authority NY, take #159 or #156 NJ Transit Bus to Bergenline & 57th Street. Walk to 56th Street and make left. House is 3/4 block on left side
Meals
Hosts can offer a complimentary light breakfast at their discretion. All other meals, including a full breakfast, might incur an additional cost, if offered. Meals and any additional payment should be arranged directly with your host.

We had a lovely stay with Eddie, he is very friendly and welcoming. His place is great and has everything you need. We only stayed 2 nights and would have loved to stay more! The location is also great, just a bus ride away from Times Square and lots of food options and grocery stores around. His kitchen is equipped with all the essentials and more, so we also cooked our own meals. On check-out day we had a hard time leaving and Eddie let us stay until late afternoon which was amazing. Thank you for your hospitality, Eddie!

Hiyaaaa Victoria!!!.... thank you so much for your review. It was my pleasure to host you and can't wait for you guys to come back. My door will always be open for you. Happy travels!
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
