Lily & Simon were great Hosts! I was looking to not stay in the craziness of NYC but still have easy access. This was perfect, bus stop, great coffee shop and restaurants close by. Also a beautiful view of NYC skyline!! Loved the quiet comfort of this location

This place is really enjoyable. We stayed here during our spring break in college and had a great experience. Communication was excellent and the place was clean and comfortable. We used the NJ Transit buses to get into the city every day and had no problems.

Great host, great neighborhood, great property. Easy and cheap to get into the city by bus. They are running like every 3 or 4 minutes and all of them go into Manhattan! Don't wanna go into the city? That's fine, because everything else is within a five min walk. Laundry facilities, restaurants, liquor stores, grocery stores, a 24 hour 7/11 convenient store and even a scenic park that has breathtaking views of the NYC skyline! We've all been in nice hotel rooms, but when a person's basement is 10 Times better and cheaper, it's a "no brainer". If your main destination is the Times Square area, save your money for all the pricey activities you'll be doing in the city. Most of the hotels in the city don't even offer a microwave or mini fridge but they're charging triple the price. Plus you'll be missing out on this beautiful neighborhood with the nicest people. It almost seems like they had a neighborhood meeting and told everyone we were coming so be extra nice and on their best behavior! Hahaha I'm joking, but in all seriousness, when you see a petite woman and her 7 year old daughter walking their tiny little dog at 11:30pm, you know you're in a safe neighborhood. I can't wait to visit again. I'm definitely staying at Szymon and Lily's place again if they're not booked up.

excellent good communication everything clean quiet place to rest I slept better than at home 😂

It was very spacious for a rental. Very nice looking. The jacuzzi tub was so relaxing. The bedroom was comfortable.

For the last few Summers, I have visited North Jersey for quick access to NYC. This recent trip, while not fun for me, (i.e. technically not a vacation and here to bring teen daughter home from Dance Theater of Harlem), I enjoyed my time here when I wasn't working and seeing patients on video telehealth and hauling dorm/ballet supplies out of Harlem. Okay, so this is a basement unit, one bedroom, two bath, open floor plan, with living room, and full sized kitchen, separate entrance down a short flight of steps. The unit was squeaky clean on arrival. Soft sheets, but do recommend a thicker bedding. Soap, towels and all toiletries were available if needed, as well as water. It's a great space for a small family. Parking is first come, first serve, just be aware Thursday is street sweeping day. The bathroom inside of the bedroom has an upright shower, and bathroom two has a soaking jet tub and shower combo. The living room has a large leather sectional, that is more sanitary than cloth, with multiple guests. The large flat screen tv, has high quality sound, and all the streaming channels. The neighborhood is very quiet, with a gorgeous park 1/2 block down the street, with the most incredible and unobstructed views of Manhattan's iconic skyline. Its truly breathtaking and a great photo op spot for families. Lily and Simon graciously helped me with my big dog on our last day, as we were so busy with telework and Dance Theatre of Harlems end of summer performance, that we had not had a chance to even go into Manhattan. They took my dog Teddy Pendergrass, along with their dog for a walk and to play, and gave me updates, while we finally got to enjoy the city on our last day. It was hotter than the devil's armpits my entire stay, but being a basement unit, it was nice and cold. Also, incredible restaurants in walking distance, to include Italian spot. A few recommendations, solely cosmetic: -Increased lighting in bathroom 1, especially if you're doing makeup. -Add some spider plants and greenery, for a pop of color. -Add vibrant wall art. As there was no art on the walls at all. Fun Andy Warhol style poster art would look gorgeous against the soft gray custom paint - Windows have no coverings, but for total privacy, would recommend frosted windows cling, which can be purchased at Home Depot. -Area rugs to warm up the tile floors outside of the bedroom. Wonderful stay, I was so stressed out from everything, I truly wish I had more time to enjoy NYC.

I had the opportunity to stay in this absolutely lovely apartment due to work in the area and I live over an hr away. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. Had a full kitchen and a surprise in the 2nd bathroom, that made me feel like I was staying in a luxury villa. The owner welcomed me in, showed me around and then left me to my own devices which was refreshing. 10 out of 10 will definitely stay again when I need to. Oh! If you do choose to stay with them, I advise you to spend the extra $10 on the parking spot that is for rent by the neighbors next door. So worth it to know you have a place to park after a long 12hr work day. Thank you so much for allowing me to stay in your home and use your parking space. It made work just a little easier knowing I didn't have an hr ride ahead of me when I was finished.
