The Space
This spacious third-floor apartment is rented as either a one- or two-bedroom layout and includes approximately 741 square feet of living space.
The apartment includes an eat-in kitchen, a compact full bathroom with a separate dressing area, and a large loft-like bedroom/living area.
Sleeping accommodations include:
Adjustable Leesa Sapira king bed with remote control
All bed linens are bamboo and are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between guests.
Please Know Before Booking
*This apartment occupies the third floor of a historic Victorian home and is accessed by stairs only. There is no elevator.
*Because this is the upper floor of a Victorian home, some rooms feature architectural angles, arches, and rooflines that are part of the home's original character.
*Guests who prefer modern construction, completely uniform ceiling lines, or hotel-style architecture may prefer a different type of accommodation.
*The bathroom is fully functional but compact, as is common in older Victorian homes.
*The apartment is cooled by window air-conditioning units rather than central air. Window units provide effective cooling, but guests should expect some normal operating sound while they are running.
A Distinctive Garden Setting
The property has a landscaped garden rather than a traditional front lawn. The garden includes a variety of established and native-style plantings and is intentionally different from a conventional grass yard.
Many guests and neighbors especially enjoy the garden and the character it brings to the property. If your preference is a traditional suburban lawn with open green grass, this property may not be the best match for you.
Please Review the Photos
The listing photos are intended to accurately represent the apartment, its furnishings, décor, architecture, and overall style.
The apartment has a warm, collected, individual aesthetic rather than a minimalist or hotel-style design. Please review all photos carefully before booking to make sure the space suits your personal preferences.
Additional Services
Laundry and errand services may be available for an additional fee and must be arranged in advance.
House Rules & Reservation Transparency
This is a family-friendly and business-traveler-friendly property located within a residential home and neighborhood.
Parties, events, unauthorized gatherings, casual meet-ups, and illegal activity are not permitted.
Because this is a private residential property, I may ask for basic information about the purpose of your stay before accepting a reservation. Guests should be comfortable providing a general reason for their visit.
My goal is simple: to provide a peaceful, comfortable, well-cared-for stay for guests who are a good match for the property.
The apartment has a private, key-code entrance located on the side of the house—not through the front porch.
If you are facing the front of the house, the guest entrance is on the left side, facing the green house next door.
Please note the stairs before booking
Because the apartment is located on the third floor, guests must be comfortable climbing stairs.
Approximately 15 outdoor steps lead to the private guest entrance.
Once inside, there are approximately 18 additional indoor steps, separated by landings, to reach the third-floor apartment.
There is no elevator.
Please consider the stair access carefully if anyone in your group has mobility limitations, is traveling with very heavy luggage, or simply prefers accommodations without multiple flights of stairs.
Motion-sensor lighting provides additional visibility and convenience when arriving or leaving after dark. With your private key code, you may come and go as you please.
You have access to the king size bed/living room area, kitchen and bathroom. NOTE: The additional bedroom is not included with this rental. If you are interested in renting as a two bedroom, please check out my profile or ask. Happy to help!
Optional services may be available for an additional fee, including laundry assistance, errands, light daily tidying, and grocery or pantry stocking.
If you would like groceries waiting for you when you arrive, you may place an online order in advance and coordinate delivery with me. Depending on the arrangement, I may also be able to receive and put away your order before arrival. Additional fees may apply.
The kitchen is equipped for everyday cooking. If you need a particular kitchen item during your stay, please ask and I will do my best to help.
Laundry
There is no guest laundry inside the apartment.
A nearby laundromat, Grove Laundry at 127 Grove Street in Montclair, offers self-service laundry as well as drop-off/pick-up options. Guests may also ask me about laundry assistance for an additional fee.

Had a great two night stay at Sherry’s apartment for a family function in the area. The bed and bedding were wonderfully comfortable, and the location was fantastic, a short walk to lots of shops and cafes. Would definitely stay here again!

This was my second stay at Chez Sherry. Everything was just as great the second time around. I felt so comfortable returning. It's becoming like a home away from home. I'll be staying here again, whenever life brings me back to this neck of the woods. : -)

Sherry had such a lovely home and was always providing hospitality. It was so cute and cozy, and the location was very close to many activities in the Montclair area. My favorite part of the stay was the vanity room and all the natural light that came in.
