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!

City Views Penthouse NYC in 5min

My second time staying here, it was great as before. The special touch on top of the beautiful place, is how kind and helpful Alan is. Definitely recommend this stay to other guests!

Best NYC View! - Cozy 2 bed with Balcony & Patio
Wonderful place, with stunning views of the manhattan skyline. Away from the noise and crowds, yet it is very easy (and cheap) to get to midtown with the buses that run frequently. I was visiting NYC with my elderly parents, and they were very comfortable (as were my wife and myself). Highly recommended!

Manhattan view 3-bedroom apartment
We had a fantastic week in India’s apartment. The place is really spacious, well equipped and with incredibly comfy beds!! The location is fantastic for exploring the city. We never waited more than 5 minutes for a bus in to or out of the city, and we really enjoyed being able to escape the city centre at the end of the day. The local area is great for cafes, restaurants, shops and takeaways. India was a great host - she answered all my many questions before we arrived and also provided helpful advice whilst we were there. When we had a problem with the heating on our first evening she sorted it out very quickly. We stayed here with 2 teenagers and found it to be the perfect base for our week in New York. Would highly recommend :)

Beautiful location, with great views from the terrace. Host always responded quickly and kindly. Excellent bus connection to the city, 30 min during rush hour and 15-20 min outside rush hour.

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.

Charming Brownstone Retreat Minutes from NYC
stayed for a business trip but would also be good for a trip with the family. In a quiet neighborhood, but three blocks from restaurants and shopping. Also a short walk to the path train to go into NYC. highly recommend

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.

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.

Immerse yourself in Indulgence!
Just checked out. Wanted to say how hospitable and amazing the bnb was. We have a huge family and everything was perfect. Many memories from this house now especially the Wedding memories. Also thank you for being super flexible and understanding

King Bed | Meditation Library | NYC & EWR
Decent functional setting. Responsive host. Gateway location.

The BeachHouse in NYC Staten Island
This was a wonderful place to stay with my family. It’s only 20 minutes from the ferry if you’re planning to go to New York. The location is surrounded by all the stores you could possibly need. The yard is enormous, which was a pleasant surprise. Although it’s too cold to go swimming, the beach is within walking distance.

Stylish & Comfy |5★ Location, Deck, ♛4Br/3 Full BA
place was as described. havi g the separate room downstairs was perfect for friends who wanted privacy. only issues...no mugs, glasses, cooking utensils, plates available in downstairs room which was equipped with a small kitchenette. if u are concerned with someone above u...it can be a bit noisy from upstairs especially during our sleeping hours as those guests came in very late at night. the kitchen upstairs could use some cleaning sorting of the drawers as the contents were dirty and jumbled and hard to see what was available to share with the downstairs unit

Comfortable Entire House for rent. 4 bed, 3 baths
This was our second stay at Robert’s place and once again we really enjoyed staying at his house. Robert is a very friendly and responsive host and the house is great. Would definitely stay there again.

Private bed with views of NYC
Estefany’s home is beautiful with an epic Hudson & Manhatten overlook. We were greeted at the door with a warm welcome, a quick tour, and a pristinly clean space. The best part was the NJ transit stop was right outside the door that went directly to Time Square. I'd stay here again and again.

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.

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!

Historical Brownstone Penthouse Condo
It was great!

NYC Riverfront Elegant White Marble Sanctuary
We enjoyed our stay. Parking is easy, apt clean and comfortable. Our room on 3rd floor, needs strong arm to carry luggage to room. Heater didn’t work well on first night. Host was very responsible to get it fix the next day. Fast in his response, giving us good advice to move around.
