We loved our stay here! There was plenty of space for our family. It was a quick walk to the light rail & into Manhattan. Don’t miss checking out downtown Jersey City, either—it’s adorable! Would definitely recommend for families looking for an alternative to the Manhattan hustle & bustle.

This is hands down the best vrbo I have ever stayed in. I am an avid traveler and this place is truly one of a kind. The owner is so kind and generous and talked us through check in and check out and made it so simple and enjoyable. The details is what make this such a once in a lifetime experience. When you go into kitchen you can see the statue of liberty through the window. You can see the empire state building from the patio. Everything is so nice and feels like home. The victorian building is historic and so beautiful. Every detail down to the doorhandles is just exquisite. The minute you walk into the Arlington the energy is undeniably warm like a hug from an old friend. If we come this way again, this is the vrbo I would stay in over and over.

I was very impressed with how much space and privacy there was. From one of the bedrooms you can see the nyc skyline. I had an suv rental which thankfully fit in the garage although it was close. It appears that street parking is hard to find.

It's quite obvious he is committed to making the visit a great experience. Everything is spotless and in very good condition. A block from the light rail, you can be in Manhattan in no time. We would stay here again without hesitation, and highly recommend.

Very cozy and unique home. Muhammed was a terrific host and always responded to messages promptly. Having a parking space was a huge perk! Access to NYC was easy, and it was cool to also check out what Jersey City had to offer.

Nice place, close to commuter rail.

Nice, clean and spacious apartment. Short walk to the Light Rail station. Easy commute into Manhattan for sightseeing and exploring the city. Mohamed was great to work with and helped us carry some luggage in when we arrived. The garage parking spot was great to park our car and not worry about it for a few days.

We actually paid for September 29th until the morning of the 6th but we left around 9-930 pm on the 5th. The house and neighborhood was great! Definitely not for those with issues with stairs. Quite the workout. We really enjoyed it ! There are loud cars and stereos going by at any given time but it's not too bad.
