Hi, everyone! My husband and I are subletting one bedroom of our apartment in the Heights (Jersey City) for the World Soccer Championship this summer.

This is a perfect location if you're coming for the matches at MetLife. It’s only 15 minutes by car / rideshare, or 10 minutes car / rideshare to Secaucus Junction from where you can take a matchday-only stadium service. But it’s also great if you just want to spend some time in the NY/NJ area without paying Manhattan prices. You can be in Downtown Manhattan in less than half an hour with public transport.

Here are some details in the form of boring lists (but hopefully clear enough!):

THE APARTMENT:
• First floor of a two-floor building (with wonderful downstairs neighbor)
• Fully furnished
• Lots of natural light
• Fully equipped kitchen (yours to use!)
• Air purifier
• Window A/C units throughout
• Spacious, luminous living room with lots of seating
• Dishwasher in the apartment
• Washer/dryer in the hallway, shared only with the downstairs neighbor
• Internet included
• Utilities included
• Shared bathroom with bathtub
• Backyard with fire pit. Perfect for a barbecue, or just to hang out at night after a match!

THE ROOM:
• Around 100 sq ft — cozy but bright (facing south) (full apartment ~900 sq ft)
• Full-sized bed
• A/C unit (it’s not in the pictures but we'll have it installed before you arrive)
• Dresser for your clothing and other things
• Sofa and rocking chair
• Best suited for one person or a couple

LIVING DETAILS:
• No smoking (of any kind) inside the apartment
• No pets (sorry!)
• Couples welcome
• Max 2 people in the room
• Minimum stay: 4–5 nights
• We'll be living in the apartment during your stay, so shared kitchen, living room, bathroom, and backyard
