Melissa's home was more than we could have imagined. It was such a great escape from the city. The location was prime and the travel was very efficient to get to Manhattan. It's about a mile walk to the ferry (or you can take the bus which will get you there very quickly as well) and about a 20 minute ferry to downtown. The house was clean which was comforting when climbing in bed at night. After bustling in the city all day, we came back and had access to NETFLIX and other apps on the Roku. Melissa has really outdone herself to provide for her guests. The check in was as easy as it gets and the communication was extremely quick. I would absolutely stay here again and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone visiting the area.
