This is a beautifully restored historic Staten Island home. I had to give the property only three stars because when we were there only one shower worked and we had between seven and nine people which became a logistical problem but we worked it out. The day we left, the owner and the plumber were assessing the issue so this will likely be fixed soon. Another issue we had is the hot and cold water is plumbed backwards. So if you turn the down stairs shower water to hot it never gets hot. Once we figured this out, after a day, the shower worked well with plenty of hot water. This is really a two bedroom house with two other sleeping areas. The twin bed is directly connected to the room with the queen bed and to leave the room with the twin bed you need to pass through the adjoining bedroom. This would work well if you had children and parents, we never could make use of the room with the twin bed.
You really need to look in every cupboard to find what you need. The House was a little short on coffee mugs for us as we had a large group.
The house is very clean and safe. We met the house keeper and the owner and they were very pleasant people but were just a bit difficult to connect with. When we got to the house the internet did not work. After a day we talked to the owner and determined the router was not plugged in. Once the internet was operational it was really fast and all of us could use it at the same time without issue.
In summary, this house is a geat value for 6 people and can accommodate 8 people especially if you have children. We loved the fact that the owners have maintained the building’s historic architecture and the neighborhood is quiet and safe. Should we ever need to rent a large home in Staten Island we would come back.
