If you like to stay outside the city then Staten Island is for you. It is a 15 minute ferry ride to go back and forth between the city. Staten Island Ferry station is very sketchy late at night with people hanging around there who I did not feel comfortable with. Price was reasonable on this place for the time we were there. We spent most of our time in the city so basically only at the house to sleep and shower. Unit is perfect for 2 people and David was very good at answering my text questions about the unit and the ferry. I wouldn't stay here again as I just didn't like the travel time and the Staten Island Ferry station late at night was just not good.
