Magnificent Georgian Colonial With Pool Only Seven Miles To Manhattan

This was a beautiful property. Victor had everything we needed for our stay and even allowed us to check in early. My only concern was that the host stayed in the room through the sunroom. There were no issues with him staying there, except that it wasn't mentioned in the listing. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.

We had a really good time and the location is perfect. Easy to go to the city and at the house it’s quiet and a nice garden with nice swimming pool. The owner is very helpfull. Highly recommend!

Our stay at this home was a memorable vacation. We wanted to visit New York City without the option to also have a place for some relaxing downtime. Victor’s house was perfect for this vacation. Several days were spent relaxing in the pool and enjoying the sunroom.The home is historic and beautifully decorated. There are lots of spaces to relax and recharge. The bedrooms were comfortable and the bathrooms were all nice. There is a great bagel shop a few blocks walk from the house that we took advantage of. And the house is a short drive to grocery stores, restaurants (Chit Chat Cafe), and coffee shops (Dunkin Donuts). It was a unique experience. We used the NJ bus system several times to travel into the city and then used the subways. It was the most cost-effective option and easy with the Citymapper app. But we also had a rental car that we used four some of our trips and pre-paid for parking in the city using the Icon Parking app. We were also able to drive the car on a few day trips to the Hudson River Valley and Long Island.

Victor‘s home is spacious, pretty, super equipped, the Pool is huge fun, the city is within reach and yet you get to enjoy the calm in n the garden. My kids loved the place, Victor was so helpful and we would love to come back.

So many interesting places in this almost 100-year-old home!! Enjoyed the spaciousness, with a bedroom each on the 2nd floor for our 4 big kids, and a private suite on the 3rd floor with its generously sized bedroom, king bed and updated ensuite. Lots of seating to eat and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The pool was a great plus and we had the perfect weather to enjoy it! Location was on a busy street but inside the house it was really quiet. It seemed like a nice neighborhood and we felt safe. There is easy access to downtown NY on the 163 bus just a 5-minute walk away. A few restaurants within walking distance (although we ordered in) and a 10-minute walk to The Bagel Shoppe on Passaic had the most delicious bagels and cream cheese offerings! Just a few things to mention: the staircase to the 3rd floor is narrow and winding, so if you are at all physically challenged, accessing this space may be a task. The front and back entrance doors are old and we initially struggled with opening and closing them tightly. Although it is hard to tell from the photos, the driveway is actually quite narrow and some of the foliage is overgrown in the front, which partially blocked access to and from our vehicle. Victor was super helpful, providing laundry soap on cue! Thank you Victor! I would highly recommend this home, and will stay here again next time we’re in New York!

Wonderful property and amazing Host! We all felt very comfortable and safe!

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and historic house. It was very clean and we found everything we needed. The size is incredible and especially the glass room and the cozy garden with the pool were great. Also technically all the appliances worked wonderfully and we lacked for nothing. The location is also ideal - whether a quick trip to NYC, a short trip to the beach or to the Appalachian Trail. For us, the 10 days here were optimal.

We were lucky to stay in victor's gorgeous home for the second time. Every corner in it is beautiful and filled with personality and lots of TLC. We were very very comfortable, had lots of place to spread out and then some. Every room was comfortable and welcoming. Although the house is huge, it was very clean. Victor is the most gracious, helpful, nice, discreet and welcoming host. We felt honoured to be his guests. He responded very very fast to any inquiries we had. We also were suppose to land earlier in the morning, and Victor told us there would be no problem coming in earlier. The house is also in the best location for trips, shopping and getting into New York. We loved staying and would love to stay again Thank you very much, Victor!

The location was very easy for bus transportation to NYC while having space for the family to enjoy. Bus stop is 2 blocks away and a 40-50 min drive to port authority by Times Square and connections to subways. $9 round trip per person was still a better choice for our family than staying in a small hotel room. Use the NJ bus app and grab a metro card in NYC and travel is a breeze. Never needed a car to see the sites other than going to the Statue of Liberty from the NJ side. The house was fantastic for the week with TVs in all the bedrooms to relax. Plenty of space for meals and down time. Nice pool as well. Do not hesitate to rent this place. Owner was great to work with.

Victors house was like staying in a museum. So many cool pieces around the house to look at and enjoy. Very quiet neighborhood with a relaxing backyard. The house felt like it was full of memories of children growing up and playing hide and go seek. It had the old house vibe with a touch of modern. Thanks Victor for the use of your property!
