This Staten Island apartment is just what you need when coming to New York: within the bounds of the city, but yet just outside of the extensive traffic network we all hear about when describing NYC. We stayed for 3 nights, and Mona and Wally provided a super clean and tidy apartment. The only thing to note is that you are in the basement of an occupied home, so there will be noises heard from the people living upstairs. But there is a private entrance and a space for one vehicle on the street (I don’t recommend coming with more than one car). We had a great stay overall, and the personal air conditioning/heating unit offered an opportunity to control our own temperature in the basement.
