We really enjoyed our stay with Nicholas in Staten Island. The room is amazing, the atmosphere in the house is great and Nicholas makes amazing pancakes! Thanks for that :). The ferry is about 10-15 min walk from the apartment (which is in a 1929 building and stunning I would say), and the ferry takes you in 25 minutes to lower Manhattan, from where buses, subways and walking take you anywhere. I would stay here again and suggest others to stay as well!
