Casa Luz

The space

Come home to Casa Luz. Everything you need for a longer stay. This entirely private one-bedroom condo is built for monthly stays of 31 days or more and comfortably sleeps up to three, minutes from Manhattan by bus or ferry. A separate private living room and its own dedicated workspace mean you never have to choose between relaxing and getting things done. The whole condo is yours and yours alone, never a shared room and never shared with a host or other guests, set in a well-kept property that gives you the energy of the city by day and real rest at night.

From the moment you walk in, everything is set up so you can settle in and stay a while. The private bedroom has a comfortable queen bed and room-darkening shades for deep, uninterrupted sleep. The separate living room gives you space to unwind, with a smart TV, a sound system, and a queen-size sofa bed that lets the home sleep up to three. A dedicated workspace with a laptop-friendly desk and hardwired ethernet keeps your calls and remote work steady, and a separate dining area gives you a proper spot for meals. The full kitchen comes with a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, and kettle, so you can cook a real meal instead of ordering in. Add a clean, modern bathroom with a full shower and ample closet and dresser storage, and you have a true home base with your own private entrance.

The kitchen comes stocked with cookware and dishes, and you arrive to a starter set of essentials to get settled, including fresh towels and linens, soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, coffee, tea, and more. We professionally clean the space before every stay and include one complimentary mid-stay clean on longer bookings. No utility deposits, no furniture to buy, and no surprise bills. The price you see is the price you pay.

Perfect for

If you're moving to the area for 31 days or more and may need room for up to three, Casa Luz was made for you. With a separate private living room and a dedicated workspace, it's a favorite of remote professionals, traveling nurses and clinicians on assignment, people on corporate and relocation stays, and couples or small groups traveling together.

The location also offers convenient access to several of New York City's most respected universities and institutions, including:

• Columbia University
• New York University (NYU) and NYU Stern
• Fordham University
• The Juilliard School
• Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT)

Students, visiting scholars, designers, performers, healthcare professionals, and professionals on assignment often choose this area for its residential comfort and straightforward access to Manhattan. Guests also stay here while working on assignments in New York City, completing hospital rotations, relocating and exploring the region, taking part in film, media, or creative production, attending academic or arts programs, or transitioning between homes.

Getting around

One of the best parts of staying here is how simple it is to reach the city. You're directly across from Manhattan with several easy ways in. The NJ Transit 159 and 154 buses are the main routes to Port Authority and Times Square in Midtown, with the 156, 128, and 158 lines also nearby. The Port Imperial ferry crosses to Midtown by water, and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail connects to the PATH train for direct service into Manhattan and the World Trade Center. Rideshare is always available, and we recommend it to and from Newark, LaGuardia, and JFK airports. Travel times can vary with rush hour, weather, and local events, so the NJ Transit app is handy for live times.

The neighborhood

You get the best of both worlds here, a calm place to come home to with real city life just outside the door. Bergenline Avenue, one of the busiest shopping and dining streets in the county, is a short walk away, lined with restaurants, cafes, markets, and pharmacies for everything you need day to day. The Hudson River waterfront walkway is close by, with open skyline views that make for a beautiful morning run or an easy evening stroll. Lively and convenient by day, restful by night.

Booking & stay basics

This is a monthly furnished rental with a 31-night minimum and a six-month maximum, in line with local rules. We share your check-in details before arrival, and late arrivals are always welcome. Every reservation completes a quick guest screening, which we send through Truvi (or a similar service) once your booking is confirmed, to be completed before check-in. The home is smoke-free, pet-free, and not suited for parties or events. Our monthly rate already includes the long-term discount, with utilities and Wi-Fi built in.

Good to know

A few honest details so you can plan with confidence. There's no washer or dryer inside the unit, though a convenient wash-and-fold laundromat is just one street away. Like any densely populated area this close to Manhattan, street parking can be limited and there's no dedicated on-site parking. Depending on availability, we may be able to offer a visitor parking pass. If you prefer to drive, monthly parking is available at the Port Imperial garage in Weehawken, and most guests leave their car there and get around easily by transit. The home comfortably sleeps up to three guests.

We're a small, hands-on team, and we take pride in spotless spaces, clear communication, and stays that run smoothly from check-in to check-out. Our monthly homes tend to book ahead, so if Casa Luz feels like the right fit, reach out to check your dates and we'll take care of the rest.
