Welcome to UrbanStay — a spacious, tastefully designed bohemian duplex in McGinley Square, built for families, friend groups, and longer stays that need real comfort, real space, and the convenience of free private parking.
The duplex layout gives everyone room to breathe. A newly renovated kitchen and dining area seats up to eight — ideal for group meals or a proper dinner after a day in the city. Step outside to the private patio: a chic, light-filled boho space that's perfect for morning coffee, evening wind-downs, or getting some work done in the fresh air. It's a genuine outdoor retreat in the middle of the city.
Inside, thoughtful design meets practical convenience. A 65" Smart TV, dedicated workdesk, and high-speed Verizon Fios (500 Mbps) handle entertainment and productivity. The fully stocked kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, a coffee and tea station, and everything needed for cooking real meals. A bar cart and spacious dining area round out the social spaces.

Isabelle was a fantastic host. She communicated proactively well before our arrival, which made the entire check-in process smooth and stress-free. The home was exactly as pictured, spotless, well-maintained, and smelled great upon arrival. I also really appreciated the detailed guide she provided with local recommendations. As a visitor, that kind of insight makes a big difference. Highly recommend staying here!

Super cute urban townhome and exactly as described! The included parking spot was a huge win 🙌 Clean, clutter-free space with a modern open kitchen, plus a half bath and washer/dryer downstairs. Upstairs has a spacious queen and king room, both with comfy beds, blackout shades, and adorable exposed brick. The king room also has a TV and desk. Everything was spotless and well stocked. Location is about a 25–40 min drive into the city depending on traffic (PATH is an option too). Perfect affordable stay just outside the city. Host was super responsive. Would definitely book again!

This was a great stay for a quick weekend getaway for New York City! It was so nice to comeback from a long day of adventures in the big Apple to such a quiet neighborhood and home in Jersey City. It had everything you could need to make your stay comfortable. Check in and out was so easy and if you need any local recommendations trust Isabelle to find you the right place! Lovely stay all around!

We stayed at Isabelle's place for our trip to visit NYC. Staying in Jersey City was the most affordable option, and we used her recommendation to take an Uber to and from the PATH station and the subway to get in and out of the city easily. Her place was exactly as described, had plenty of towels and amenities and was perfect for our short stay.

We loved our stay! Everything was beautiful and exactly as described. The whole place was so clean and felt very welcoming, our dog even loved it. Isabelle was so accommodating and attentive. We asked for a late check out and she was more than understanding. Check in and out was super easy and the off street parking was so convenient. The place had all the basics you would need, and extra! We will definitely be coming back here when we're in the area again. 10/10 recommend!

Place was good, clean and organized, packed with amenities (shampoo, salt, coffee…) with enough space for a family. Only thing is that the public transport to PATH takes a while all the time (ofc not an Airbnb problem, just a comment) but overall pretty good :)

Isabelle's place was as described and had all that was needed for a short stay. The location was fine for our plans. We had a couple issues which Isabelle addressed quickly. In fact her communication was spot on.
