I stayed in the Dreamer's Suite with my older sister, her fiancé and my younger sister for one week. We had a great experience! The house is located in a nice and quiet neighborhood. We didn't meet Alissa when we checked in, but everything was organized very well. She sent us all the information we needed to know to check in 2 days before we arrived. We could always reach her via email when we had any questions or needed something!

It was very easy to take the bus and the ferry to get to lower Manhattan. The bus drives about every 20 min and the FREE ferry every 30 min (even at night!), so it was never a problem to get to Manhattan or back. We bought a 7-Day pass for the metro for our stay, which costs about 30 $, and you can use it for the bus as well, so you don't have to pay extra to get to the house. The bus stop is right across the street.

Our room looked exactly like in the pictures. It wasn't as clean as it should be (especially the sheets) but you can live with that for a couple of days. We shared our charming bathroom with some other guests, but it was never a problem!

Altogether we had a really nice stay at Alissas house and we definitely enjoyed our time on Staten Island. I would totally recommend the accommodation!
