Marina and her husband were great! Easy to communicate with and very helpful. My husband and I stayed here with our three year old. The apartment is roomy and clean. It's in a safe and quiet neighborhood where it is easy to park. We drove to the Staten Island ferry to go into the city each day. It's about a 10 min drive and $8 a day to park, but the ferry is free. I know that the bus is very close and accessible to the ferry as well. Had a great experience! Would definitely recommend!
