Spacious Living with City Views!
Elsie’s apartment is simply amazing! Very well located, well equipped, calm neighborhood. The bus stop is just 50 meters away and in 15 minutes you are at the center of Manhattan! Great communication, we got all the responses immediately. Lovely welcome with vine and flowers. In few words, we spent wonderful 10 days there! Thank you, Elsie!

Luxury PH - Best NYC Skyline
First and foremost, Michaela is one of the most responsive and helpful hosts I’ve encountered on this app. She elevated our experience with constant communication, flexibility, and timeliness with meeting us (we arrived at the airport at 5am and she met us at the Airbnb by the time we arrived at 6am!). Plus, I locked myself out and she bent over backwards to get a spare key to let me in. She’s amazing. The place itself is in a great location with beautiful views. As others have mentioned, people live there, so you’ll find the dressers and closets full of clothes. So you’ll need to live out of your suitcase. Overall, great experience.

Beach Front Escape - Rockaway Beach NYC
So glad we stayed at John's beachfront home. We wanted a way to escape the noise and chaos of a large city and this was the perfect fit. Granted the commute is longer, but we couldn't get enough of the amazing ferry ride from Rockaway to Manhattan/Wall Street. Such a great way to explore NYC.

Ocean views, walk to beach restaurants music &park
We had a great time at Andrew’s. The location is perfect for views, walks, restaurants and access to the Sandy Hook Beach. Great stay, great host!

LargePrivate guest suite in bayfront house
The apartment met all expectations. I felt very comfortable. The bed was insanely comfortable so I could sleep very well. Of course, the way to Manhattan from Rockaway Beach is not the shortest, but I knew that in advance. Within 75 minutes I was "in the middle" of whether I went by train or boat. Supermarket and the recommended "restaurant" are also within walking distance (5 minutes). Even as a woman traveling alone, I felt safe in the area. The fact that you were on the beach within a few minutes' walk in the most beautiful weather was rounded off.

Beautiful 3 bedroom Private Home 15 mins from NY
Great location with free parking lot.

Waterview House Walking Distance from Cove Beach
The place was exactly as described—spacious, with plenty of beds to accommodate our group. We enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen and gathering around the island. There were ample utensils and cleaning supplies, which was a plus. The bed mattress on the first-floor was comfortable, but the ones on the Queen beds were not. However, that didn’t affect our stay.

NEW! Family-Friendly Keansburg Home: Walk to Beach
Our stay was lovely. Hope to stay again!

Lakefront Log Cabin!
Michelle’s place was absolutely adorable! I really felt relaxed and comfortable. I slept well in the bed. The amenities in the kitchen were perfect for a short stay and the lake was lovely.

Riverfront Cottage Retreat & Pool 35 mins from NYC
This house has a river view which I liked the most. Because the land is so big, I feel I am in a forest next to a river with quiet and private environment. The owner is great and responded in no time. I will refer to my friends.

Lovely place 💗 great host!

CONDO LIKE NO OTHER |SAUNA|OCEAN VIEW | POOL TABLE
The condo is spectacular and the host was very gracious and helpful! Note: there are alot of stairs to climb. We were unaware of this prior to checking in and my mother was unable to make it up the stairs due to her recent hip surgery. So please note there are stairs and it's not handicapped accessible. Otherwise great stay! Thanks!

City style apartment, Beach Passes Included
If you are looking to explore New York for a few days or longer then Jay's place is great. Just a few minutes from the Long Beach station, Penn or Grand Central are about an hour away on a direct LIRR train. You will save $$$ by staying here compared with Manhattan. Long Beach is a safe, full of interesting shops. The 10km boardwalk is just a few minutes away. The apartment of character in a listed building full of charm. Loved the well stocked kitchen and would not hesitate to come back again.

Hector and Clarissa were very caring and keen to make sure that we had a great stay. Highly recommended,

Cozy Stylish retreat - NYC & NWK w/free parking
Everything just as advertised, this place is right next to a a train station. The SM team is very responsive. Just some quick constructive feedback, I do wish the bed was a bit more comfortable. But enjoyed the stay and would visit again.

Fantastic stay for 4 – Heart of Hoboken!
The apartment is located in a perfect location, close to the Hudson River with amazing views across to the manhattan skyline. Transport links were great too - we were able to get across to manhattan for all the sightseeing trips we had booked quickly and smoothly. AJ was an excellent host. Very quick to respond and so helpful with our enquiries. All his responses and instructions were very clear. We would recommend this property to friends and family.

New Beautiful Condo In Bayonne near NYC
I had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at this Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, everything was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared. The space was stylish and cozy, with all the amenities I needed for a relaxing stay. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, offering helpful local tips and making sure I felt right at home. The neighborhood was peaceful, safe, and conveniently located near restaurants, shops, and public transportation. Neighborhood is HORRIBLE for parking This place truly felt like a home away from home. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier Airbnb experience. Thank you for an amazing stay!
