We stayed at Paula's place for a 4-night ladies trip to NYC. We were hesitant to book Paula's place at first because we were concerned about being on Staten Island (which we initially knew nothing about) and the potential hassle of using the Staten Island Ferry to go back and forth to Manhattan. Paula was very responsive in answering questions prior to booking, which made us comfortable to book it. We did not have a rental car but found it easy to catch Lyft/Uber to the grocery store, back/forth to the ferry, and to local restaurants. We never waited more than a few minutes for a ride as they were plentiful, even late at night.
Paula's place has been the best Airbnb experience we have had! The house was fantastic and exactly what we wanted, a cosy and quiet refuge we could come back to each night after the hustle and bustle of the city! Paula really thought of everything; the house was well stocked and included some thoughtful bonus gifts. We enthusiastically recommend Paula's place!
