Lorrie was a fantastic host. Very responsive to calls/texts. We had an unexpected situation come up and Lorrie was extremely helpful. She has really thought of everything from the nice little coffee bar to the inviting porch. Kitchen is very well stocked. Nice to get out of the hustle and bustle of NYC. Ferry to the city is convenient and parking at the Ferry station is easy. Staten Island also has everything you would need as far as shops and restaurants - much easier to drive around then manhattan!
