This place is located in Staten Island in the Thompkinsville neighborhood. There are quite a few stores like barber shops, fast food, local cuisines, gas stations, etc in the immediate vicinity. It is a 2 min walk to the Staten Island rail that will take you one stop to the ferry that takes you to manhattan. We took this route morning afternoon and night and always felt safe in the neighborhood. We sat on the porch often and never felt an ounce of fear. The home is spacious and stocked nicely. They provide Wen hair products for your convenience along with towels and all other toiletries you may need. The host was very attentive and noticed when I first arrived my cell was dead and I could not access the code to unlock the doors he noticed me on the front porch camera and came to help. They checked in with me during the stay to ensure everything was ok. Each room has its own air conditioner to set to your liking. There are 4 bedrooms and each is decorated differently. We loved the old school record player and records. I cannot brag enough about this place. Only downside is the distance to traveling especially if you want an Uber from Manhattan it will run over 100 but we only did that once when it was raining heavily and we didn’t want to chance taking the ferry back. Thanks for hosting us.
