We stayed at Dave's place over a long weekend due to a wedding on Staten Island. It's in quiet residential area but only a short walk from local shops and a good bagel place. It was very affordable for such a large space and conveniently includes a coffee maker (with coffee!), microwave, and mini-fridge. We appreciated everything being provided because we packed very light that trip. We loved being able to quietly use the private side entrance whenever we came home late and could sleep in because we were an entirely separate floor! Will definitely come back if we need to be in Staten Island!
