Private 2-bedroom apartment with direct bus to NYC Manhattan only a 5-minute walk away

Welcome to this private 700 square foot (65 m2) apartment in a convenient location with a direct bus to NYC a 5-minute walk away. There are 2 bedrooms, each has a queen bed and 32-inch Fire television. There is one bathroom with tub/shower. The kitchen is spacious and equipped. There is a small living room with a sofa, small dining table, and a 32-inch Fire TV. Supermarket, laundry, banks, and restaurants are nearby. No parties, events, or smoking of any kind -- this is strictly enforced.

The larger bedroom in the front of the apartment has a queen bed, work desk and chair, and a Fire TV. This large bedroom also has a walk-in closet. The smaller bedroom in the rear of the apartment has a queen bed and Fire TV. The living room and kitchen area are in the middle of the apartment between the two bedrooms. The apartment works well if you are tourists coming to visit New York, a family spending time in New Jersey, or students and professionals that need a private space to work remotely.

You will have exclusive and private access to this apartment during your stay. It is located on the second floor of a 2-unit house. You will not have access to the other floor of the house (that is a different apartment) or the backyard.

This is a busy and vibrant neighborhood near the center of Elizabeth New Jersey. Plenty of restaurants and stores nearby, some within walking distance of the apartment.

Parking is not included in this rental. You will need to find parking on the nearby streets. You will be responsible for your vehicle and any parking violations you may receive.

The amenities that are listed at the time you book the unit are the amenities provided. Please review this list of amenities before booking.

Self check-in and check-out are available. There is a lockbox with keys at the entry door to the building. You will receive the code to the lock box on the day of your arrival, not earlier.

The check-in window is 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm. If you are planning to arrive after 11:00 pm, you must clear this with us. We will not be available to support you during check-in if you arrive very late at night (after 11:00 pm) and we will not be able to offer refunds or concessions if you have issues with check in after 11:00 pm.

Newark airport (EWR) is 4 miles away from this apartment. It is a short 15-minute taxi or Uber ride away.

You can access Manhattan NYC by using NJ Transit Bus No. 115 that stops 0.2 miles (0.32 km) from the house. You can walk to the bus stop in less than 5 minutes. The bus ride takes about 45 minutes and puts you at Port Authority Bus Terminal (Times Square).

There is no parking included with this rental (the house does not have a driveway). You may park on the nearby streets, which is free, but you just need to pay attention to the street cleaning signs. The City of Elizabeth cleans each street one morning per week and those times are posted on signs. We cannot be responsible if you receive a parking ticket.

Please also note that this apartment is located in an older house. Some recent guests have arrived with higher expectations than what we can provide given the age of the house and layout of the apartment. The apartment looks like the photos in the listing and we keep it clean. It is a basic space with basic amenities. If you are looking for a functional and competitively priced place close to New York City and Newark Airport EWR, this would be a good space for you. If you are looking for a modern and luxury stay, this is probably not the place for you.

We also just want to make clear that you are renting an apartment and not a hotel room. There are many differences between apartment rentals and hotels, and some newer guests may not realize it. Hotels are large and often have many rooms, and the ability to change your room should issues arise. Hotels also have staff 24/7 that can help you with every issue or questions that you may have. On the other hand, we are a small operation and manage our listings to the best of our ability. We try hard to create a good experience for our guests. We are including this disclaimer here because we have recently seen a rise in guests that seem to view our listings as very similar to a hotel, but in reality it is quite different. Thank you in advance for understanding this.
