Charming 2-bedroom in the heart of Jersey City
We had a wonderful few days at Johanna's place. The location was fantastic, just a few minutes' walk from the stop, where the train went to Manhattan (2 stops). It was very quiet in the neighborhood, but still had nice restaurants, bars and cafes nearby. The kitchen in the accommodation is really well equipped, I think it is also suitable for a longer stay. The bedroom was great, the bed very comfortable and with the window to the garden it was nice and quiet there. There were plenty of blankets and towels if you needed any extra. Communication with Johanna was great, we received answers to our questions very quickly. We definitely recommend the place and would come back anytime!

Would definitely recommend!!!

What an awesome spot. We only spent about 12 hours there but it was great! Walk a few minutes to get to all the restarants and not too far of a walk to the PATH over to the city! For parking - just go straight to the parking deck that the host suggests! No complaints. Great spot!

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.

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.
