We had a great stay in New York, helped a lot by the convenience of this location - easy access to the free Staten Island ferry, a great way to approach Manhattan for the first time. The property has plenty of space and character, though a bit shabby with wobbly furniture and with a slightly odd layout - one of the bedrooms is located off another bedroom, and the master’s en-suite is the only upstairs toilet. This made things awkward for a larger party. There were some mostly minor maintenance issues - annoying but not enough to really affect our stay.
