The home and it’s guardian hosts are full of incredible stories. I can verify that the reviews left by other travelers who have so eloquently and accurately described the experience as richly unique and memorable... are true! So wonderfully not The Ritz indeed- and on that note; be sure to grab your non-standard comforts (like toiletries, lotion, shampoo, scented candles, etc..) with you—though your hosts would surely aid you in acquiring whatever you need or forgot. Danforth and Darwin will become your quick friends, always there to assist and entertain. The historic, well lived in home is situated close to Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanic Gardens- another gem not to miss in Staten Island.
