The space is great, affordable, and very convenient to the Staten Island Ferry and a few nice pubs, like the Phunky Elephant. But the real draw was Al, our amazing host. He was thoughtful, friendly, respectful, and incredibly hospitable to me and my boyfriend, who were in town for a wedding. Besides making an excellent cup of Turkish coffee, Al helped us with our luggage, got me ibuprofen when I hurt my foot, offered to make us breakfast, and provided a dozen other services, large and small, that really make the weekend better. He gave us space when we needed space, but we ended up spending a lot of our down time just hanging out with him because he was such a nice guy. I have stayed at dozens of AirBnB's and Al is hands down the best host I have met.
