I stayed at Krystal's place the night before running my very first New York City Marathon. I was a ball of nerves but this place was a perfect quiet and dark place to calm my nerves. I slept very well and had an excellent maratho. You have the whole basement to yourself and there's even a little kettle for tea and coffee making equipment and a few little breakfast items. I got there by bus (15min) from the Staten island ferry which was very handy. Overall just what I needed!
