Everything was just as expected and even better, as Kazoku was a great host, who took time to explain all the things in the studio and places of interest. When we asked for a second duvet, Kazoku provided it and communication was at all times easy and friendly. As others have said, it can get a bit noisy in the mornings but it wasn't a problem for us, as we were up early anyway to go out and explore. And keep in mind that New York is a huge city and it takes a bit to get from Staten Island to the main attractions (It takes about 50min to get to Manhatten from door to Ferry Station on Manhatten, plus wherever else you want to go from there). But if you keep all that in mind you will have the most pleasant stay.
