This place is a perfect low-cost solution to staying in NYC, particularly if you have a car. Parking is easy on the street and the Staten Islamd Ferry is just a ten minute car ride away. There is municipal parking at the ferry ($8 for the whole day) and the ferry ride to Manhattan has to be one of the nicest trips on public transportation you'll ever make! It takes just 20 minutes, has a gorgeous view, and then you have all of Manhattan and the subways at your feet.

The apartment is as described, the bed is very comfortable, and as other reviewers have mentioned, Martina leaves milk and the fixings for a nice sandwich when you arrive, something I really appreciated after a long drive.

And when in Staten Island itself, make sure you visit the Chinese Scholar's Garden at Sailor's Snug Harbor. It's beautiful..
