Natalie's place is delightful. Her home is beautiful, and it's located in a safe and attractive neighborhood. The space is clean, roomy and nicely decorated; the private half bath is a real plus. There's plenty of storage, and the room is sunny and cheerful. Natalie is an excellent host; I loved talking to her, and quickly felt that I was staying with a friend. She had good advice about places to visit on Staten Island. Public transportation is nearby; travel to Manhattan or Brooklyn is safe, fast and easy. Her pets are wonderful -- I enjoyed visits from the beautiful cats.
