We were in Staten Island for a wedding and I always like to get in a day early. I also prefer an apartment or house to a hotel room; I like having a kitchen and a living room.
Friday night we went to a restaurant called The Local, food and service were great. Saturday I worked as a "day of coordinator" for a friends wedding, so my husband was very comfortable spending the day in the apartment.
The apartment was clean and new and looks exactly like the pictures. I would recommend this location to anyone.
