Staying on Staten island was fantastic. What a great way to start your day off ,by taking the free ferry across to Manhattan ,passing the Statue of Liberty on the way and enjoying the same on the evening's return. It's marvelous being able to get away from NYC's smog at night . Elle and Rob were a fountain of knowledge and help. Very accommodating even down to lending my daughter a guitar for the time we were there. The accommodation is spotless and only a few minutes walk to the ferry. Overall a terrific stay.
