Charming room in Princeton
We loved staying at Emilia’s place. It was the perfect location for visiting the University. The layout works well for a family. We had a lovely dinner in the great room and Emilia was super accommodating in helping us with it. The property is beautiful, an oasis of greenery and birds.

1Bed 2Bath Unit by Train Station, Shared Kitchen
Very helpful and accommodating - answered any questions I had. Great place, well stocked like a home. Comfortable furniture 👍

Large Bedroom (A), Quiet Area, Private Entrance
Peaceful quiet and safe place to stay. It's great for a single woman traveler. Rhe room is comfortable and has a desk where you can work and the internet. it's very close to both Princeton and Carrier, if you need either. Hosts were very responsive. the only downside is that there is a microwave and small fridge, but no stove or oven.

Palmer Square 2BR w/ Parking
This Airbnb is just down the street from Princeton University. The location is terrific! As stated in the description, it is an old building so sound easily travels between the two units. Other than that, it’s a comfortable, well appointed home with kind, responsive hosts!
