Ondine and Jason, were great hosts! This was our first Airbnb experience and now we are hooked. The place was clean and cozy and it was so nice to have the essentials available for us when we arrived. We were in NYC for business and it was easy to get back and forth on the ferry although it took longer than we thought (15 min walk, 30 min ferry plus subway in Manhattan) We spent little time on Staten Island however the amount we saw was lovely, the neighbourhood is safe. FYI if you are tall, plan on taking baths because the shower ceiling is low. I highly recommend staying in Ondine and Jason's big beautiful house.
