I greatly enjoyed my stay xith Marianne. The room was very nice and comfortable, and the high bed was indeed great. It was nice to have a private bathroom. After a day in the busy Manhattan, it was pleasant to be back in the quiet and peaceful Staten island. Coonections were very good with the bus as well as the ferry (wonderful views of Manhattant and the Statue of Liberty). I also greatly enjoyed Marianne 's warm welcome.
