The house on Staten Island was beautifully kept and restored. Our room, the Dreamer's Suite, was very clean and tidy. All communication between us and our host Alissa was great. She sent us the neccessary information about getting to and from the house to Manhattan, how to get into the house and room, and tips on what to do on Staten Island, right before our stay. When we had a problem with a clogged sink in the bathroom, she responded right away and sent someone over to fix it. Overall, we had a wonderful experience during our stay and I can only recommend the house to anyone who wants to stay in a beautiful home away from all the noise of other NY boroughs and is willing to take at least about an hour to get into Manhattan every day. It is especially nice to stay there with children, because there is plenty of space in the living room and kitchen. I would definitely come back!
