Guest rating: 4.0 / 5
City excitement -Studio 20 Minutes to (42st) NYC is a smoke-free studio-style stay positioned for quick access to Manhattan from West New York, New Jersey (across the Hudson River). The unit is geared toward self-sufficient trips, with a kitchen setup that includes a microwave and oven stove, plus in-unit laundry (washer) and everyday basics like an ironing board. Comfort features include air conditioning and heating, along with cable TV and free Wi-Fi for downtime between city outings. The building includes an elevator, which can be helpful for luggage and longer stays. In the immediate area you’ll find several casual dining options—especially Latin cuisine—such as Las Palmas (Cuban), La Pupusa Loca #1 (Salvadoran), and Colombian spots like Mi Rinconcito Colombiano and La Comuna Grill. While NYC train hubs like Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal are listed several kilometers away, local bus access is close via Bergenline Ave at 62nd St.
Best for
This studio is best for couples or solo travelers who want a compact, private base near NYC with home-style conveniences such as a kitchen, washer, Wi-Fi, and climate control. It also suits longer stays or travelers who prefer eating in sometimes, given the cooking appliances and the neighborhood’s easy access to restaurants and markets nearby.
Travel tips
“20 minutes to NYC” can be accurate by car during off-peak times; at busier times, allow extra time. For public transit, plan on using a bus to cross into Manhattan—Bergenline Ave at 62nd St is nearby, and travel times can vary significantly depending on time of day. If you’re aiming for major NYC rail hubs (Penn Station, Grand Central Terminal, or 33 St/23 St areas), budget commute time since they’re not walkable from the property.
What guests say
Reviews describe a small studio that still feels comfortable for two people, with a clean, newer condition and generally quiet surroundings. Guests highlight the convenience of having basic kitchenware and appliances for simple meals, along with the overall practicality of the space for a NYC-area trip. Location feedback notes that reaching Manhattan can be quick by car off-peak, but public transit requires a bus and timing can vary widely. Reported negatives include an occasionally finicky door lock and inconsistent host communication.
