Marisa's place was really wonderful. She has all the amenities to make u feel very comfortable. ie. ac in each room, full kitchen appliances, modern furnishings, in-unit washer and dryer and huge television!! U r one block on Prospect from the SIR Stapleton station. U r two stops from the 25 min free Staten Island Ferry to Manhattan. The surrounding area may not be the best, but the amenities and location can't be better. I felt very safe in the day to walk in the area. Everyday I walked to Americano Cafe for my iced coffee. It is a wonderful clean, comfy cafe along the pier. Marisa is quick in answering your questions. I would definitely go back to stay at her place if I am in NY. Thank you Marisa for being a wonderful host and thinking of everything!!☺️
