PARKING DETAILS
Parking in Jersey City can be tricky—this is a true urban area. The garage is shared with the upstairs unit with a tandem parking setup, so you’ll need to exchange contact information with the other guests via the whiteboard in the garage to coordinate moving vehicles as needed. If that arrangement doesn’t suit you, street parking is a good alternative.

- Absolutely NO parties or events allowed.
- No extra guests beyond the reservation at ANY time.
- Violation may result in a $1,000 fee, cancellation, and removal without refund.
*Unreported guests will incur a $50/night fee*
We aim to be flexible and fair—please communicate any changes before arrival.
