Two blocks to train, 20-minute ride to NYC @ Newark Broad St

Ideal for visiting NJ with day trips to NYC, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom duplex is just two blocks from Newark Broad St train station and downtown Newark and is great for 1 or 20. Fully-renovated duplex apartment with new kitchen and appliances; modern, cozy furniture and art throughout. The entrance to the apartment is on the second floor after an easy flight of stairs from the main foyer. The main common spaces -- kitchen, living room, and dinning area -- are on this floor as well as 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms and it sleeps up to 10 people exclusively in the bedrooms. (This floor could potentially be rented separate from the ground floor space for smaller groups). On the ground floor there are 2 additional bedrooms, another bathroom with a shower, and a family room with a second Roku TV, additional couches, and a small table to play boardgames. The ground floor sleeps an additional 5-9 people -- 5 in the extra bedrooms and up to 4 in the common spaces. In total, we have 8 actual beds (2 queen, 2 double, 4 twin), 5 twin-size sofa beds, and only one queen size inflatable mattress (Aerobed). We live in the same building, but in a separate apartment on the third floor. It is very important to us that you understand our location before booking as that is the one thing we cannot change. We are in the Lower Broadway neighborhood just north of Downtown Newark which is home to a diverse population of Latinos and immigrants from other backgrounds. This means that great food, access to public transportation, shows and many other great perks are within walking distance. This is a vibrant neighborhood that, like other key areas of Newark, is going through significant renewal and redevelopment, processes that are still very much under way (i.e., we are not as beautiful as we will soon be). We are on a street that gets busy during rush hour, and that also means a little extra noise, particularly in the warmer months. It is not uncommon to hear Salsa and Latin music blasting from cars passing by, from the neighboring shops, or coming from the various music festivals held in the riverfront during the summer months. ***SCAMMERS BEWARE: WE DO NOT ACCEPT OFF-PLATFORM PAYMENTS.*** If your employer or someone else is paying for your vacation -- lucky you! -- please have them pay or reimburse you directly. We only take bookings paid through Vrbo/HomeAway.
