About this property
2 BR Spacious Apartment in Historic Montclair NJ Close to NYC Transportation
This 2nd floor apartment is located in a 3 story home built in 1888. It is situated in a prime location with a few minutes walk to train/bus to NYC. You can walk to restaurants, bars, convenience store, Whole Foods. Parking for 2 on property.
You have the entire apartment to yourself. (No smoking on property--no cigarette butts left on the ground.) There are two bedrooms, one king size bed and one full size bed. There is a queen size air mattress that can be set up in the living room in 2-3 minutes. It is of high quality from Frontgate and the settings can be tailored to your liking (soft-firm). There is a full kitchen so you stock and cook if you wish; a full bathroom; dining room and living room.
Wifi is included as well as Verizon FiOS television. The apartment is heated in the winter with additional space heaters in the event you prefer it a bit more toasty. It is also equipped with air conditioners that you control for the hot weather.
I live on the property on the first floor with my two dogs. We have never lived in the two apartments above me and the dogs are confined to my apartment. If hearing dogs bark a bit bothers you, then I would not recommend this property for you. I just like to be honest and forthcoming;). They would love to meet you if you wanted to;). I work from home a lot and am home most of the time in the evenings. I find comfort and security in them watching over the home. I have many 5 star reviews from another site where I have been renting from for several years.
My goal is to offer you a comfortable and sanitized place to lay your head during your travels. All linens and towels go through a sanitization process to ensure a sparkling clean experience for each guest. No blanket is ever used by more than one guest and right down to the mattress cover. All mattresses are bed bug encased--a precaution on my end as this is my home and I would never want to have an issue like that.
Coffee and teas are stocked for your convenience with various sweeteners. I like to know what your preference is for milk or cream as well as knowing if you would like a bottle of wine or some beer. There is an option to shop in advance and have it delivered so you have things here upon your arrival. Both Whole Foods and Acme deliver and I frequently use them through Instacart.
The side entrance and apartment door is key coded so you can arrive at any time. Codes are changed for every guest for safety measures. The side entrance is for both apartments on the second and third floors. The entrance door is located on the side of the home facing West which is the opposite side of the wraparound porch and driveway. There are approximately 15 white deck stairs leading up to the entrance and then about 7 stairs to the second floor landing. I do request that SHOES ARE REMOVED UPON ARRIVAL and require that no shoes are permitted to walk around the apartment. If you knew what was on the bottom of your shoes, you would never wear them in your own house again;).

About the host
Hosted by Sherry Blair

I am born and raised here in New Jersey in this area for my whole life. I love gardening, traveling (especially the Caribbean), my family, friends and my pups. I am in the business of helping people and I truly love what I do in terms of serving individuals, families and organizations.
I am blessed to live in this historic home and decided to offer it as a short-term rental in 2015 and I love that I have met beautiful people from all over the U.S and from abroad. Overall, it's been a wonderful experience hosting.

Why they chose this property
I chose to purchase this own in 1997 because I wanted to raise my son in a diverse and supportive community. Montclair has so much to offer and I truly loved the vibe back then and have watched it change and grow all these years into a place where people enjoy to visit.
What makes this property unique
I would like to say I do everything with love and care and truly want people to feel like they are visiting a friend of family member. In my humble opinion, I love the architecture of the older homes and the warmth and feel they offer. The location of this property is great because you can easily walk to the train into NYC or travel south for about an hour and be at the beach. If you like to hike, you can go west and explore hiking. You can literally have it all from here--city, suburbs, mountains, beach and there are so many restaurants so whatever flavor your palate wishes for, I am sure you can find something to please it.
