I would recommend Rob and Elle's place to anyone! The most important thing for us on this visit to NYC was to be able to have free parking, as we drove out east. This was accommodated with no issues and was much appreciated! The walk to the Ferry takes 10-15 minutes, but I didn't realize how hilly Staten Island was! Elle is wonderful at showing you the routes and which bus to take to get back up the hill (in case, like us, after a long hot day in the city you're too exhausted to make the climb!). Very convenient and easy. If you're around for more than a couple days, get an unlimited metro pass which works for the subway in the city and the buses on SI. The space was exactly as advertised and had all the local information you could need for your stay. The view from the (free) ferry into, and back from, the city has amazing views! You'll have a mini-fridge in the room that is stocked with some drinks and snacks. Elle goes out of her way to give fresh towels, empty out trash, and restock fridge items. Very thoughtful and very appreciated!!! All in all, a great stay!!!
