We very much enjoyed our stay in Staten Island with Nicholas. He is a wonderful and thoughtful host with great stories. He was tremendously kind to share his honey stash with us over butter croissants and dark coffee. The room is bright. Watch lovely tugboats and other vessels cross the water to the sounds of birds in hill-top trees. While there we also discovered fabulous Enoteca Maria-- a not-to-be-missed throwback Italian wine and dine spot with real grape vine leaves clinging to the main glass-- on Nicholas' recommendation. We consider ourselves very lucky to have stayed at the one and only Newyorkroomwithaview. Sincere thanks to you Nicholas from your AirBnb fans Jess & Brendan.
