Marianne and her son are very good people, very easy to interact with, and keep a very nice house. I had a comfortable stay and was able to enjoy the nice decor, feeling at home every time I walked through the door. The location is good. I really like Staten Island, and this is a good area to be staying in. I took the bus around the corner to the ferry which drops you off in downtown NYC. You can also take the express bus as well. Overall, I recommend this listing to anyone who wants clean, comfortable accommodations with easy going hosts.
