Staying in Staten Island while visiting NYC is a hidden treasure! Jeanie is adept at navigating the public transportation options. Manhattan is easily accessible as are all points Brooklyn. She lives in a safe residential neighborhood with the beach just a couple of blocks away. For retail therapy a TJMaxx is a couple of blocks away in the other direction. For people who like animals, Coco (small dog) and Charlie (African Grey Parrot) are great additions to the household.
