We spent 3 months travelling across the US staying in air bnbs and this was our friendliest stay! Absolutely fantastic stay, and what a great location! The bus takes a minute to walk to and gets you to the ferry within five minutes. It takes 20 mins to walk to with a beautiful view of the NY skyline. Safe area with the exception of a apartment complex on the main road though we were fine walking home late though did cross the road. Would 100% recommend this if you're looking to visit Manhattan like we were, the staten island ferry is such a beautiful way to travel. Thank you so much for so many great conversations, for all your help and advice and for making us laugh!
