Our family (kids 6 and 7) had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the home of Rosa and Spiritchild. Although we didn't get to meet Spiritchild, Rosa greeted us warmly into their home. We used the accommodation as a home base for exploring Manhattan and Brooklyn. The kids enjoyed the daily sightings of the Statue of Liberty as we rode the free Staten Island Ferry each morning and evening. Although there is a bus stop in site of the house's front door, we chose the 15-minute walk each day. We especially appreciated the free, off-street parking and use of the kitchen so that we could eat our breakfast before the day's exploration. We'd highly recommend a stay with Spiritchild and Rosa! They made us feel welcome and were attentive to our needs.
