Our stay with Martha was super comfortable - the bed, the shower, the room! And she even provided breakfast and lots of snacks. They truly are the nicest people who will make you feel at home right away :-) The neighborhood feels super safe and parking the car is very easy (and free). We used this Airbnb as our accommodation for visiting NYC. Unfortunately the train didn’t go while we were there (due to some construction work for a few days), so most days we just took the bus which goes directly from Staten Island to Manhatten (via Brooklyn). Super comfy, no transfers and just 1h from the Airbnb to Central Park - a great alternative for the train. But definitely do use the train & ferry at least once: the views from the ferry are amazing!
