Hello All hi Nicholas!!
i know this come very late nevertheless I have to say it was a wonderful stay and experience at Nicholas. It was a great honor to be in his house the building was beautiful when we first got in. we were very late and Nicholas was not happy lol guess he really cared for his guest. Sorry Nicholas. The lift has a handle and u got to open it to enter and everything amazed us. Such an old bulding where we can never sees it in our modern life anymore. The laundry the kitchen...the emergency outside our window! the VIEW of course the view you can see the water from the bathroom too. it was never a problem having to share a bathroom and it was very clean too. Everything works well. Nicholas was always discreet and leave our privacy alone.
And when were ready, he would ask if we would like to have our coffee now. YES hes nice like that. he would whip up a nice breakfast of eggs, with tomatoes some herb....yummmm!!!!! and then juice and croissant with butter and jam. and you think I would forget? I will never ever forget....his amazing coffee! which I look forward to every single morning . well I wish have more mornings. It it was boil in this antique kettle and its better than any coffee anywhere.
We love the Staten Island the room was cool and breezy at night. theres map of the train and New York available in yr room and Nicholas even added extra touch by putting a real flower in our room on the table and password for wifi. We couldnt ask for more .....wish we have more time with Nicholas.
We like to be back Nicholas !
