About the host
Hosted by Nur Kirmizidag
After spending years working in international relief and later as a university academic, I now renovate old homes with care and character. I enjoy creating welcoming spaces for travelers and families to relax, recharge, and feel at home—whether they're exploring the city or just enjoying a change of scenery.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds—an easy commute to Manhattan and a vibrant, welcoming community all its own. Jersey City is incredibly diverse, with culture and cuisine from around the world. You can find some of the best Indian food this side of the ocean on one block and incredible Ecuadorian dishes on the next. It's a place where people from all walks of life come together—and where visitors can truly feel at home.
What makes this property unique
Detached single-family homes with private parking are a rare find in Jersey City, a densely populated urban area just across the river from Manhattan. This 120-year-old home has been thoughtfully renovated to combine modern convenience with original charm—from its updated kitchen and bathrooms to the preserved details that give the house its warmth and character. It's a private, spacious retreat that feels like home while keeping you close to everything the city has to offer.
