We loved staying with Nicholas!! He was such a welcoming host, it was a pleasure staying with him! We loved chatting with him and getting all the inside info on New York. Even though it was on Staten Island, it was super easy to get to Manhattan on the ferry.Taking the ferry was a nice way to start the day, and it meant that we were far enough away from all the noise to get a good night's sleep. The view from the room lived up to the picture also!! The apartment is a little bit dated, but Nicholas totally made up for it. We would definitely recommend Room With A View!
