The apartment is in a good location on Staten Island, only an 8 minute drive from the Staten Island ferry which has cheap parking, and the ferry is free to Manhattan. The apartment is clean, well equipped and very modern. It looks exactly like the photo's. It's in a basement under the house, so the only window is the door and bathroom window which get a bit of upper light. There is A/C, however this appears to be a central system as part of the entire house. Personally we found it too hot both nights and slept with just a sheet, but we did find 2 tower fans in the cupboard which we used. Would definitely use again if we were in NY :)
