This is a really great place to stay! We booked it for 3 nights. It is close to the free Staten Island Ferry, just a few blocks away. Some great places for food are nearby. Each time we entered the house coming back from busy Manhattan we felt we were home. The walls are decked with local artwork. Gary had some really neat gadgets in his house, like Alexa, Netflix, some good speakers, purified water and some really great organic coffee. We would definitely stay here again.
