From the moment we established contact, Danforth showed himself to be the consumate host - from the communications to the assistance to find parking right next to the property, to the help with unloading the bags!
We were on the tail end of a business trip in the US, with our flights booked from JFK and a couple of days spare to explore NYC.
The property is located around a ten minute stroll to the Staten Island Ferry which runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is totally FREE! This deposits you right at the southern end of Manhattan and is the best and most convenient way of getting around all or the best sights!
The house itself if huge, steeped in history, comfortable and the fridge is well stocked. Danforth is like your own personal historian and tour guide - from a literary background and so knowledgeable abou the house, locality and anything in between.
We would stay here over any hotel any day of the week!
