The house was a great stay for our party of seven, plenty of room! Its very cozy and cute, everything is super clean. The hosts even provided us some wine, we weren't expecting that! We stayed in the room downstairs, which is really big & has its own bathroom. Our son had one of the rooms upstairs where he could see a bridge, nice view. The hosts reply very quickly to any messages you send them. We drove to the Staten Island Ferry which is like 15 minutes away, and took the ferry to NYC. The Ferry ride to NYC is like 20 minutes I would say, give or take a few minutes. We will return to this Airbnb for sure in the future when we come back to NYC. Once again if you are looking for a place to stay while you check out the sights in NYC, look no further!
