Weifeng's house on Staten Island was a great place to stay and I'd recommend it highly. Our visit was during the Christmas and New Years holidays and we found staying on Staten Island to be very convenient. It's an easy 10 minute walk to the ferry (which is free) and my kids loved riding past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island twice a day as our vacation "commute". It was also far less crowded than everywhere else in New York City. The apartment is one of three in a house that has been updated very nicely, and was easy to find. It's across the street from a school, but since it was the holidays, that didn't affect us at all noise-wise. The neighborhood appeared safe and there were a couple small grocery stores, a laundromat also within walking distance. I have three teenage kids, and we never felt unsafe. Weifeng was quick to communicate and very friendly. Overall an excellent place to stay.
