First, we were traveling to the area with two children ages 10 and 11. Gary’s place was very clean, well stocked, and had great amenities. He had the home set up for our sleeping arrangements prior to our arrival. Gary was available and quick to respond for questions when we needed him. Secondly, The location of the home was great. Like the other reviews state it is a very short and pleasant walk to the Staten Island Ferry that we used daily. We felt perfectly safe walking home at night after coming back from the city. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. I would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a quiet place close to the city.
