The apartment is very clean and ok if you're only looking for somewhere quiet to sleep and will not spend time inside. On the other hand, if you're looking for a place to live and cook, it's quite dangerous since the first oven isn't heating and just leaking gas when you turn it on and the 2nd one (electric) is almost unreachable for someone 5'3 and I burned myself with its door that is as hot as the inside even with gloves on. Many basic kitchen tools were missing (scissors, oven gloves, cutting board, soap, blender,...) and I had to buy most of them. The hosts are rather polite and they repaired everything that broke quickly (the fridge and AC were not working and it was really hot, windows were locked at first, it is not the sunny apartment described). If you're looking for people who won't talk to you (so no instruction given about anything but they definitely will send you a complain e mail if you put something in the wrong garbage can for example) and respect your intimacy (which is good because the lock doesn't work from inside), this place is for you. Otherwise, it won't be a very friendly air bnb atmosphere despite all your efforts to get along with them. Moreover, I wouldn't recommend Staten Island since it's very tiring to live so far from most places and you have to take a bus to the ferry (it takes 30 minutes + another 30 minutes on the ferry to Downtown) and the bus is often late. So, living somewhere else, closer to Brooklyn or Manhattan and paying a bit more would have been worth it in the end.
