Dmitry’s apartments (we rented both units) are an easy 10 minute walk to the Staten Island Ferry. The apartments are very clean with comfortable beds, and excellent water pressure. Check in was easy and Dmitry communicated well and promptly. The apartment was a bit too sterile and could use a few personal touches (kitchen cloth towels, hand towels, area rugs (would help with noise/echo) and for the entry way to limit debris tracking indoors. Full kitchen was nice and the stove brand new. Still has manual inside the oven, which we moved to a cupboard so nobody inadvertently bakes it while attempting to preheat the oven.
There’s a grocery story just 5 minutes away.
We had dinner at Pier 76 and the pizza and service were amazing! Also, just a 10 minute walk from Dmitry’s.
The apartments are not located in the safest of neighborhoods and we were warned by some locals to exercise caution and avoid walking alone after dark. Although, we never had any issues with anyone, but we were a group of six.
I’d recommend Dmitry’s place for location to the ferry, cleanliness, comfort and amenities. The ONLY hesitation would be the neighborhood.
