About this property
Cozy 1 bedroom, 40 mins NYC, 15 to EWR, 10 min to golf course & Maplewood center
Modern 'in law' separate suite and apartment is on the 1st floor of a beautiful 4 story Maplewood home. This 1 bedroom has a luxurious bathroom with stone floor and high pressure shower head. Newly updated kitchen & spacious bedroom, it is perfect for traveling professionals who need a comfortable place to rest yet value quick access to the city (40 minute direct train to Penn Station NYC) , Newark/EWR airport, and proximity to great restaurants and cultural facilities. This space and location also perfect for individuals visiting family in the area in need of their own space outside of the family home.
Guests have access to backyard space with deck and outdoor seating, and will have access to a shared driveway. Guests that need to work remotely while traveling will have access to a desk and wifi.
Lastly the bedroom includes a full size bed that sleeps two, and the large living room includes 2 couches that provide an option for additional 2 guests when required. If you request an early check-in or late check-out, we will try to accommodate, but a minimum fee of $50 will apply for each schedule change. *FYI* this is a 1920s home and the ceilings are low which is fine for most people under 6ft 3 inches.

About the host
Hosted by Sherry
Hi I'm Sherry and I am a native of Barbados and a 30 plus year resident of the NYC and New Jersey area. I am a nurse that enjoys travel, entertaining and meeting people from all around the world. I have an amazing life partner, and 3 amazing children (one out of college and 2 in college) I'm excited to host guests in our home and ensure the best hospitality that I can.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood over 21 years ago as it is a wonderful area to bring up children, has wonderful schools, beautiful homes, is a very safe area, great restaurants and is a very diverse and inclusive community. Additionally due to the fact that I work in NYC, it's proximity and accessibility to Manhattan via the train is exceptional.
What makes this property unique
The home is spacious and beautifully curated. Natural light is very important to me and as such, there are lots of windows and French doors throughout the house and the apartment to allow light to flow in. Additionally obtaining a nice, hot, 'high water pressure' shower after a 12 hour or 24 hour nursing shift is important to me; as such all bathrooms have spa tiled floors and high flow/pressure shower heads; bathroom comfort is important to our family.
Lastly, the home is a classic 1920s bungalow that has a 6 foot/2 inch ceiling on the ground floor, which makes me feel special and tall in the garden apartment unit, but 'note to self' for individuals over 6'2" (it likely is not as special/comfortable, NBA players better suited to stay at the local Hyatt)
Final note of what makes this a special stop above the comforts of the apartment itself, is the proximity to transportation hubs including NJ transit 'Maplewood train station' that delivers you to NYC Penn station in 40 minutes, and EWR/Newark airport only a 15 minute 'low cost' uber ride away.
