Staying on Staten Island was a lot of fun! We had a quick walk to the ferry every morning, and every night we got back we hopped on the 42 or 52 bus to the stop that was very close to the airbnb (I'm not great navigating in the dark so this was great!). The bus runs until 1 AM. The airbnb was very spacious with separate bedroom, living room/kitchen, and bathroom. It was well stocked with things we might need. As long as you remember to factor in the ferry ride to your vacation schedule, Staten Island is a great place to stay and it was super fun getting to ride the ferry everyday.
