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 short 5 minute walk away. There are 2 bedrooms each with a queen size bed and 32-inch Roku television. There is one bathroom with full tub/shower. The kitchen is spacious and equipped. There is a living room with a sofa, work desk and chair, and a 32-inch Roku TV. Supermarket, laundry, banks, and restaurants are nearby. No parties, events, or smoking of any kind -- strictly enforced.

The bedrooms in this apartment are relatively small with room for a queen size bed and a small table with a TV. The living room and kitchen are more spacious. 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 first 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.

Located in the City of Elizabeth, the neighborhood is mostly working people and families. It is slightly outside of the center of the city. There are a variety of restaurants nearby, supermarkets and laundry are also close to the apartment. The neighborhood is relatively quiet and is convenient to many locations like Newark Airport (EWR) and New York City.

You can take NJ Transit Bus No. 115 from the bus stop very near the apartment. It will take you directly to 42nd Street and 8th Ave in New York City. The journey takes about 45 minutes.

Street parking is available nearby and not too difficult to find (you may not get a spot directly in front of the house but you should be able to find one nearby). The listing does not include parking and you will be responsible for your car and any parking violations you 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. We have a lockbox with keys at the entry door to the building. We will send you the code to the lock box on the day of your arrival.

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 issue any refunds if you experience issues with checking 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.

Please 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 my 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.

Note: If you pay us directly with a credit or debit card, we will ask you to send a photo of the front and back of the card, and we will ask you to sign a credit card authorization form. The name on the reservation must match the name on the credit card and the name on the ID.
