I really enjoyed my stay here! For those who aren't familiar with New York and are intimidated by the location on Staten Island, don't be. Jason and Ondine's house is a short 10 minute walk or bus ride away from the free ferry that runs 24/7 and brings you to south Manhattan, right next to Battery Park. The ferry is a tourist attraction in itself as it goes right by the Statue of Liberty!

Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to meet Jason, but Ondine was a really excellent host. She had lots of helpful suggestions about things to do and was even kind enough to let me use her CitiBike key so I could use the NYC bike sharing program for free. Thanks Ondine!

The apartment itself was great. There are two air conditioners, two fans, comfortable bed, and a TV with many, many channels. I would highly recommend staying here and I will definitely stay here again myself next time I am in New York.
