We had a lovely stay, the apartment is very close to the Staten Island ferry (10-15 min walk or 5 mins in a cab). The ferry is free 24/7 from south ferry only a couple of subway stops from the world trade centre.
The area is convenient with a shop next door and a laundrette a few doors down.
The flat has a kitchen with a table and all the usual things (toaster, kettle, oven etc). It also has a double bed and single pull out in the lounge and a separate room with a double bed.
We would use this again if in the area it work really well and the hosts and their daughter are charming :)
