A great place to stay :). I actually checked out early due to travel conditions. Mona and Wally do have children and they also reside in the home. That means you will hear a bit of walking and talking. Nothing crazy though. They didn't bother me. Nice welcome basket. New furniture and all the stuff you need. It was a bit cold in the bathroom. But I had a personal heater which was perfect. or if you leave the door open from the kitchen and turn on the installed heater, it will heat the restroom. If in staten island, I'll stay again. Thank you.
