Very friendly greeting. Hosts were very concerned that we were comfortable through out our stay (which we were). I highly recommend this host as they make a strong effort to ensure you have a great stay & are there to answer any questions.

The neighborhood/street seems pretty safe & neighbors seem friendly as well.

We visited Staten Island because it is a great place to stay for a trip to the city. The amount in savings is huge compared to staying in Manhattan. We walked & rode bikes to the ferry. Biking only took about 10-15 minutes. Walking might not be ideal for most so you want to probably use Uber/taxis to & from the apartment. There are plenty of taxis as the ferry terminal to take you home for less than 10 dollars.

We didn't use the kitchen much but it's definitely a working kitchen that will allow you to cook a meal.

The bathroom is equipped with towels, shampoo, conditioner.

There is a pull out couch & a regular bed. I didn't have any complaints with the bed. Extra blankets.

The heater seems to work well. Never used the A/C but there is a window unit. There is also a fan that creates white noise which was nice to have. As the hosts pointed out you will hear people upstairs. This can help drown out some of that noise.

I would definitely stay here again because you can pretty much expect what you see in the pictures + hosts that are going to make sure you're happy with everything.
