From La Guardia Airport we spent 18$ to get to Staten Island.
We took a bus down to the subway, then took the subway to the free ferry and from the ferry straight to Staten Island. It took about 2.5 hours. When we got to the house it was on a very quiet and nice area. You have the bustip and subway right around the corner along with restaurants, fast food and convenient stores. Lisa was very helpful and quick to respond. She even gave us a ride to a nice restaurant that had a small band with great music. We would definitely recommend this place and plan to go back.
