and son duo hailing from Italy run Franco’s Pizzeria & Ristorante, where you can grab a chicken parm that melts your soul.

Comments from our Guests
June 2022
Me and my friend had a pleasurable stay at Francois’s place in New Jersey. It is close to the bus station and also has many good restaurants nearby. The community is very peaceful and soothing to one’s mind. We were warmly greeted by Francois and he made sure we had a comfortable stay. The house met all our requirements and it was a nice experience. Thanks Francois!
August 2022
Francois was a gracious and hospitable host. The place was clean and the room was as expected. The house is located in a nice neighborhood just a short walk from a very lovely park and close to major highways and public transportation. I would stay here again.
September 2022
The location is really nice, close to grocery and a nice park. Francois is a very responsive and responsible host. I was touched when I accidentally lost the key and Francois did not blame me at all and give me another key quickly. The room is nice and comfy, with nice decoration and a separate space for tv and work. The neighborhood is quiet, close to nature and safe. The house is lovely and I highly recommend it to others!

Francois is a very nice, careful and responsible host. He gave us the key and instructed matter in advance,and allowed us check in earlier which let us easily moved from the last place. His room has two desks which are very nice to my husband and I for working.The bed is comfortable, the linen and sheet and towels are very clean. The kitchen is very useful and Francois gave us spacious drawers and closet space. We were very happy to stay there with spacious,adequate and comfortable bedroom and cute den(TV room). It’s a most satisfying experience in our booing rooms through Airbnb.When our vacation ends we feel like that we’re friends with Francois.

My boyfriend and I stayed in this house for three months. The house is equipped with every convenience; the kitchen is stocked with all the necessary equipment. Additionally, it is close to the supermarket, restaurants, and a large park. The house is perfect for long-term stays as it is very large and spacious. It is also equipped with a washing machine, dryer, and iron. If we return to the city, we will definitely rent it again.

Beautiful home, perfectly located, everything you need is a short walk away, the area is really safe and full of nature. Francois is an amazing host, kind, respectful and always there to answer any questions. My fiancé and I had an incredible stay and would definitely come back if we are in the area.
