Nicholas is an attentive, knowledgeable host. I had some interviews in the Financial District in Manhatten and the proximity to the (free) Staten Island Ferry made this a no-brainer. It's a supreme find for the consummate bargain hunter.

Bring a good camera ! Excellent views of the south end of the Manhatten borough from across the water. If you've never ridden the
Staten Island Ferry, you have to check this place out !

A short downhill walk from Nicholas' place will put you on the boat where you will cruise close enough to the Statue of Liberty for some great photos. It's a leisurely and romantic ride that takes about 25 minutes and is one of the many facets of NYC that is not very well known by outsiders.
