Great place to stay if you’re on a budget! It was super affordable and nice. It does take about 45 mins - 1 hour to get to Manhattan, so if you are on a tight schedule, this might not be the best choice. We were super flexible though, so it was AMAZING. The ferry ride to/from Staten Island is free and beautiful. Taking it back to SI gives the best view of the city. The bodega by the Jersey bus stop by Mahmood’s place has the best breakfast sandwiches by the way! If you are on a relaxing trip and don’t mind the time it takes to get to Manhattan, this is totally the place for you! Also, Mahmood and his wife were so kind! They let us check in early and sleep after our red-eye flight. It was just what we needed! Wonderful hosts in a cute little home!
