Carrie, Ken and their super friendly, adorable son were great hosts and fantastic hospitality - starting with personally greeting & showing us around when we arrived, having amazing freshly baked brownies waiting for us on the kitchen table (which we were looking forward to the whole trip!!)...to coming down at 930pm that night to help us operate the shower, and giving us fantastic local tips to navigate the Island. I also really appreciated the snacks and pantry staples (milk, bread, butter, cooking oil etc) that were thoughtfully placed in the apartment, which meant we didn't need to go to the trouble of going to the store the first evening we arrived. Carrie also had a whole folder of local information containing details ok of great restaurants and places to visit which was really helpful - so much so that we changed our plans to go into NYC and instead spent the day exploring the Staten Island green belt. My son also had great fun in a light sabre battle with Carrie and Ken's son Oliver. We wished we could have stayed longer!
