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!

Beachfront Apartment near Amusement Park w/ views
Ashley was great!! Home was perfect. Great stay

Best NYC View! - Cozy 2 bed with Balcony & Patio
Wonderful place, with stunning views of the manhattan skyline. Away from the noise and crowds, yet it is very easy (and cheap) to get to midtown with the buses that run frequently. I was visiting NYC with my elderly parents, and they were very comfortable (as were my wife and myself). Highly recommended!

Valerie was a great host! We enjoyed our stay and all the extra little bonus goodies that Valerie provided!

Luxury PH - Best NYC Skyline
First and foremost, Michaela is one of the most responsive and helpful hosts I’ve encountered on this app. She elevated our experience with constant communication, flexibility, and timeliness with meeting us (we arrived at the airport at 5am and she met us at the Airbnb by the time we arrived at 6am!). Plus, I locked myself out and she bent over backwards to get a spare key to let me in. She’s amazing. The place itself is in a great location with beautiful views. As others have mentioned, people live there, so you’ll find the dressers and closets full of clothes. So you’ll need to live out of your suitcase. Overall, great experience.

Piermont River Front
Very quaint and amazing restoration of an older home with tone of character. Great location. Felt safe with police and firemen all around. Safe area regardless I’m sure. But extra safe. Walkable to visit all we needed to visit. Great restoration of all plumbing and electrical and HVAC. Will be back.
Beach Front Escape - Rockaway Beach NYC
So glad we stayed at John's beachfront home. We wanted a way to escape the noise and chaos of a large city and this was the perfect fit. Granted the commute is longer, but we couldn't get enough of the amazing ferry ride from Rockaway to Manhattan/Wall Street. Such a great way to explore NYC.

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.

Beautiful 3 bedroom Private Home 15 mins from NY
Great location with free parking lot.

Waterview House Walking Distance from Cove Beach
The place was exactly as described—spacious, with plenty of beds to accommodate our group. We enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen and gathering around the island. There were ample utensils and cleaning supplies, which was a plus. The bed mattress on the first-floor was comfortable, but the ones on the Queen beds were not. However, that didn’t affect our stay.

NEW! Family-Friendly Keansburg Home: Walk to Beach
Our stay was lovely. Hope to stay again!

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.

Riverfront Cottage Retreat & Pool 35 mins from NYC
I booked this for my parents. They absolutely loved it. They enjoyed the snow and the place looks beautiful! It is definitely a great stay and we will deficiencies back! The host is super helpful and responsive!

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.

The CozyQ | 5 Min to City | Entire Private Floor!
We had a great time at Hector’s apartment. The apartment itself is lovely and comfortable with quick access to all the sights you would like to see in NYC. Hector was a great host. We arrived very late but he was very accommodating and quick responding. Everything was there and we felt very welcome. Thank you, we really enjoyed our time visiting!

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.

New Beautiful Condo In Bayonne near NYC
I had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at this Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, everything was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared. The space was stylish and cozy, with all the amenities I needed for a relaxing stay. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, offering helpful local tips and making sure I felt right at home. The neighborhood was peaceful, safe, and conveniently located near restaurants, shops, and public transportation. Neighborhood is HORRIBLE for parking This place truly felt like a home away from home. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier Airbnb experience. Thank you for an amazing stay!
