Beautiful location near NJ transit

Travelled in June wrh the summer hydrangeas in bloom, this home is in a lovely quiet neighborhood but less than a mile to town and train stations. Great parks with hiking trails also nearby. You would never guess you are a 30 minute trainride to the city. The apt is downstairs and very comfy with a modern kitchen and soft beds. Instant communication with the host and they are very helpful and considerate. I would stay here again.

Long term holiday rental

We rented this property for 7 weeks from mid-November through the end of December to celebrate the holidays close to family. It was the perfect property for a long term stay and for entertaining. The kitchen is amazing, rooms are spacious and sleeping accommodations very comfortable. The downtown is within walking distance, including coffee shops, wonderful restaurants, and train to NYC. Lori and her family were very attentive if we had any questions or needed anything. This is a wonderful property!!
