This was a beautiful property. Victor had everything we needed for our stay and even allowed us to check in early. My only concern was that the host stayed in the room through the sunroom. There were no issues with him staying there, except that it wasn't mentioned in the listing. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.

Excellent location and beautiful historic flair

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and historic house. It was very clean and we found everything we needed. The size is incredible and especially the glass room and the cozy garden with the pool were great. Also technically all the appliances worked wonderfully and we lacked for nothing. The location is also ideal - whether a quick trip to NYC, a short trip to the beach or to the Appalachian Trail. For us, the 10 days here were optimal.

Excellent vacation rental!

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely home. There was plenty of space for us to all spread out. The kitchen was fully equipped and Victor was so incredibly kind. He met us at the house, showed us around, and even accommodated our early morning arrival (since we had flown on a redeye flight from the west coast)! We can only imagine how wonderful it would’ve been had the weather and tIme of year been conducive to using the pool and being outside more. The home is conveniently located to so much which allowed us to sight see as much as we could between attending my son’s hockey tournament. The old charm of the house was lovely. Highly recommended by this group of 8 that stayed!!

Our stay at this home was a memorable vacation. We wanted to visit New York City without the option to also have a place for some relaxing downtime. Victor’s house was perfect for this vacation. Several days were spent relaxing in the pool and enjoying the sunroom.The home is historic and beautifully decorated. There are lots of spaces to relax and recharge. The bedrooms were comfortable and the bathrooms were all nice. There is a great bagel shop a few blocks walk from the house that we took advantage of. And the house is a short drive to grocery stores, restaurants (Chit Chat Cafe), and coffee shops (Dunkin Donuts). It was a unique experience. We used the NJ bus system several times to travel into the city and then used the subways. It was the most cost-effective option and easy with the Citymapper app. But we also had a rental car that we used four some of our trips and pre-paid for parking in the city using the Icon Parking app. We were also able to drive the car on a few day trips to the Hudson River Valley and Long Island.
The sunroom was nice for relaxing and reading a book.
The dining room was nice for family meals.
We were able to use the kitchen for breakfast every day and other meals when we stayed at the home.
This home is wonderfully memorable!

A Friends and Family Wedding

My fiancee and I rented this home as a vacation home for my friends and family to stay for our wedding. It did not disappoint. The owner, Victor, assured that we had everything and the home is beautiful-inside and out. When we arrived and talked to Victor, he told us he was unsure if he would keep it as a rental during the next year. Apparently, another wedding couple rented from him and proceeded to invite a 100 guests over to celebrate. It would be a shame if this home were not for rent anymore. The five bedrooms fit each one of us and there is plenty of space and bathrooms. My favorite areas had to be the finished basement with the huge tv and the beautiful backyard. My, now wife, and I have told Victor we would love to come back. The home definitely was worth it!

Best experience of home away from home

We had a great time in this beautiful home. Victor was a great host - gracious, discreet, helpful, knolledgeable, and always availlable. We stayed with 5 of our kids, and had lots and lots of space and then some. the house is beautiful, full of love and personality. There was always something new to see and discover both in the house and around the grounds. And the pool was deffinately an added bonus. House is much nicer than in the pictures. It is situated in a beautiful and quiet neighburhood, with some very pritty houses. Lots of really great shopping and restaurants just minutes away, and lots of great sightseeing, parks and historical sights right there. We really recomend seeing historic new bridge, which is just a ten minute drive. It took us 30 minutes to reach N.Y by car, and although we planned going more often into the city, we loved the N.J area so much, we chose to stay close by. We would deffinately love to come again! Thank you Victor for allowing us to stay at your home. Baruch, Yael and family.

Perfect size house and a relaxing pool to go with it.

Six females-ages 62, 40, 46, 12, 16, and 13. Plenty of bathrooms and beds. Victor is very kind and accommodating—even took a couple of us to grocery store when we first got there to pick up a few items. Kitchen had plenty of basics and bathrooms had plenty of towels for bathing and also beach towels for the pool! Was great to come home from long day in city sightseeing and be able to cool off in pool! Very safe and quiet neighborhood. Bus was two and 1/2 blocks down and express bus took about 45-60 minutes in morning to go in to city and only about 35 minutes back home in evening. For the six of us it cost less than $25 per bus ride. One senior and 5 adult. Bus ran about every 15 minutes in morning and every half hour at night. House has amazing decor and very functional kitchen. Couldn’t use hot tub but that was ok. Loved it as did both my nieces and three great nieces! Highly recommend!!!

Amazing stay!

So many interesting places in this almost 100-year-old home!! Enjoyed the spaciousness, with a bedroom each on the 2nd floor for our 4 big kids, and a private suite on the 3rd floor with its generously sized bedroom, king bed and updated ensuite. Lots of seating to eat and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The pool was a great plus and we had the perfect weather to enjoy it! Location was on a busy street but inside the house it was really quiet. It seemed like a nice neighborhood and we felt safe. There is easy access to downtown NY on the 163 bus just a 5-minute walk away. A few restaurants within walking distance (although we ordered in) and a 10-minute walk to The Bagel Shoppe on Passaic had the most delicious bagels and cream cheese offerings! Just a few things to mention: the staircase to the 3rd floor is narrow and winding, so if you are at all physically challenged, accessing this space may be a task. The front and back entrance doors are old and we initially struggled with opening and closing them tightly. Although it is hard to tell from the photos, the driveway is actually quite narrow and some of the foliage is overgrown in the front, which partially blocked access to and from our vehicle. Victor was super helpful, providing laundry soap on cue! Thank you Victor! I would highly recommend this home, and will stay here again next time we’re in New York!

Perfect for a family visiting NYC

Everything about our experience was perfect from start to finish. Victor responded to our initial inquiry in a timely manner and booking was simple. He was friendly and answered all the questions we had in advance of our stay. He was very flexible about our arrival time as we didn't arrive until later in the evening. He took us on a tour of the house and gave us all necessary instructions and then was available for issues during the week. The house itself is lovely and very big. Four floors provide all the space any family could need. Rec room on the lowest level has a huge tv for movies and sports. Middle level has a well-equipped kitchen as well as a dining room which we used for playing games. Also on that level is a bathroom with a shower and a family room, living room and sun room for reading and relaxing. 2nd floor has 4 bedrooms, all with different themes. Rooms are very big and beds are super comfortable. There is a main bathroom with tub and shower and another one adjoining one of the bedrooms. Top floor is a massive master suite including bathroom with a claw tub and a shower room with with changing area. Every room was spotlessly clean when we arrived. Kitchens and bathrooms are stocked with everything you could need for your stay. There is nothing we had to buy except food. The outside of the house is equally as magnificent. We spent quite a bit of time enjoying the pool area and eating outdoors. The area is also fantastic with lots of places in walking and biking distance. There are some great shopping malls that aren't far. Travel into NYC is a breeze. Quick walk to the bus stop where the wait is never more than 10-15 minutes. You arrive at the Port Authority within the hour. From there you can walk or grab a cab or a bus anywhere. We are grateful for our time in the city as well as the time we spent in this beautiful property. This house is truly a "home away from home". Thank you Victor! :)

Absolutely the best Home away ever

We were lucky to stay in victor's gorgeous home for the second time. Every corner in it is beautiful and filled with personality and lots of TLC. We were very very comfortable, had lots of place to spread out and then some. Every room was comfortable and welcoming. Although the house is huge, it was very clean. Victor is the most gracious, helpful, nice, discreet and welcoming host. We felt honoured to be his guests. He responded very very fast to any inquiries we had. We also were suppose to land earlier in the morning, and Victor told us there would be no problem coming in earlier. The house is also in the best location for trips, shopping and getting into New York. We loved staying and would love to stay again Thank you very much, Victor!

Great stay

The location was very easy for bus transportation to NYC while having space for the family to enjoy. Bus stop is 2 blocks away and a 40-50 min drive to port authority by Times Square and connections to subways. $9 round trip per person was still a better choice for our family than staying in a small hotel room. Use the NJ bus app and grab a metro card in NYC and travel is a breeze. Never needed a car to see the sites other than going to the Statue of Liberty from the NJ side. The house was fantastic for the week with TVs in all the bedrooms to relax. Plenty of space for meals and down time. Nice pool as well. Do not hesitate to rent this place. Owner was great to work with.

Family trip for dance competition

Victors house was like staying in a museum. So many cool pieces around the house to look at and enjoy. Very quiet neighborhood with a relaxing backyard. The house felt like it was full of memories of children growing up and playing hide and go seek. It had the old house vibe with a touch of modern. Thanks Victor for the use of your property!

Great for families

We had a great week at Victor's home. We really enjoyed the beautiful, immaculate pool (although the jacuzzi is not available for use due to a bad experience Victor had in the past). The kitchen is nicely renovated and had just about everything we needed. The 3rd floor suite is very comfortable. There was enough seating in the dining and living rooms for the 6 of us, and we made daily runs to the nearby Target and Whole Foods. Despite being on a busy street, you couldn't hear the traffic from inside the house. Just a couple of cons: - The first floor has no AC - 2 of the beds are very creaky - Dining chairs should be reupholstered or replaced - Something about the basement made people feel a little unwell but that's the only space with a big TV Overall, we would recommend and would rent again as long as there is air conditioning on the first floor.

Beautiful home with pool and great owner!

Beautiful home, perfect for family seeking a relaxing setting. Pool was well-maintained and provided many hours of enjoyment. Owner was easily available and responsive tonay questions. 7 minute drive to Whole foods (and Target!) and kitchen with everything needed to cook-when we were not grilling outside. Left refreshed and relaxed! Would definitely return!!!

Perfect and Quiet City Escape

We were looking for a peaceful place just to escape the city for a week and that's exactly what we got. The pool was perfect for multiple swims a day. The house has lots of rooms to unwind and curl up with a magazine or device. And the backyard had multiple places to sit and relax and watch the fireflies at night while eating ice cream with our son. There are beautiful plantings everywhere along the yard. And the house was immaculate. Beds were comfy and there were plenty of extra towels and blankets (I get cold at night). We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

When we arrived Victor was waiting for us. Showed us all around and then took us to get our hire car and waited for us then led us back to the house. Victor is a charming man and let my son stay later on vacating day as the flight to England was at 8pm. Would highly recommend the house to larger groups who want some space. Thanks again Victor.

Charming Georgian Home in nice neighborhood

The kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms have been updated and were comfortable. The air conditioning worked very well and masked the sound of low flying executive jets. There was plenty of hot water for the showers. Our only complaint is that the house needed a thorough dusting and vacuuming before we arrived. Other than that we enjoyed our one week stay in Hackensack with our seven family members. The dining and living room were very enjoyable!

Bella casa a due passi da New York

Victor è stato premuroso e attento e ci ha subito fornito le "dritte" per sentirci 'a casa'. La casa è a 5min dalla fermata dell'autobus per NYC, vicino all'outlet e immerso nel verde di quartiere. Il giardino e la piscina sono un ottimo relax dopo la gita. Bella scoperta!

The house was just down the block from the NJ Transit bus to take us to NY! Even my 81 year old mother was able to walk it! The house is gorgeous and hag plenty of room for the adults and the teens! Victor was very accommodating to our check in time (we didn’t arrive until after 1am!) and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again if we go back to NJ or NY.

Beautiful Home

This is a wonderful home in which will now forever be in our memories of the wonderful family dinners shared around the dining room table and the late night chats with cousins that we haven't seen in years. I did not research before hand and we did have to make some adjustments since there is no bedroom on the first floor and we had some handicapped people in our family. That was completely my fault though!!! I would recommend this property without hesitation. Thanks to Victor for giving us the opportunity to stay here.
