About this space

Welcome to Color Burst — where bold artistic energy meets genuine urban comfort in the heart of Journal Square.

This expansive 1st floor duplex spans over 1,500 sq ft across two levels and sleeps up to 9–10 guests comfortably, making it one of Jersey City's best options for larger groups, families, or multi-generational travel. Every inch of the space was designed with intention: custom graffiti murals by local Jersey City artists set the tone from the moment you walk in, while warm hardwood floors, dramatic accent walls in deep teal, vivid navy, and bold yellow, and generous natural light make it feel like a home — not a rental.

The main level features an open living and dining area anchored by a luxurious L-shaped sofa and a 55" Roku Smart TV, a sunroom with breakfast seating for four, and a bar-height island with stools that bridges the kitchen and living space perfectly. The fully stocked kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, a Keurig, dishwasher, fully loaded spice rack, and everything you need to cook a real meal.

Upstairs, three private bedrooms offer real separation: a king bedroom with a dedicated workstation, a queen bedroom, and a bunk room with two full beds — each with room-darkening shades, luggage racks, storage closets, and hypoallergenic linens. Two full bathrooms (one with a tub, one with a stand-up shower) mean no bottlenecks in the morning.

Downstairs, the ground floor opens into a large lounge with a king-size sofa bed, a private workstation, a second Roku TV, and in-unit washer/dryer — plus a private mini gym with an elliptical, adjustable bench, free weights, and a yoga ball. Step outside and you have your own enclosed backyard, a rare find this close to Manhattan.

And speaking of Manhattan — Journal Square PATH is just 1.5 blocks away. You'll be at the World Trade Center in under 30 minutes, door to door, no car needed. Newark Airport is 12 minutes away. Free street parking is available for those who do drive.

It was our first time as a family traveling New Jersey. This was a great place and location to stay in if you want easy access to get to new York. It was roughly a 15 minute walk to journal station to get the path train to New York. We did have a hard time the first day we arrived due to the main door not working and the airbnb being hit but once the ac remained on the house remained so cool during our stay. The entire home is beautiful and very accommodating with all the beds! The restrooms and very clean and Zara was very helpful with any questions we had. I will 100% be booking this place to stay in next time we are in town!

Guest Access

The entire apartment is exclusively yours for the duration of your stay — no interruptions, no shared spaces. Relax, unwind, and make yourself at home.

Please note: this is a lively urban neighborhood, so you may hear occasional city sounds — upstairs neighbors or nearby construction. It's part of the Journal Square energy we love, but worth knowing in advance.
