It is a truth universally acknowledged by New Yorkers: If you’re looking for a quiet spot to spend the night after a full day spent running through your laundry list of the best things to do in the city, your best—and most affordable—bet is to find a stay outside the city. And the best Airbnbs in Jersey City capture just that—right across the Hudson River, Chilltown embodies exactly what its nickname suggests: a not-too-far escape with some neighborhoods just 10 minutes away from Manhattan on the PATH train. Of course, New Jerseyans will be quick to challenge that the parks, pizza, and water views this side of the river can hold their own, but it’s undeniable that they have New York beat when it comes to offering leg room aplenty, airy backyards, and a peaceful night’s sleep just an arm’s reach away from the city that never does.
Below, some of our favorite picks for the best Airbnbs in Jersey City, replete with options for large parties, solo travelers, families traveling with kids, and home cooks who prefer to chef it up in their own kitchen.
