Tricia's basement apartment was just what we needed for our weekend excursion to Manhattan. Weather made us arrive later than we would have liked, but we still had a great time. Check-in was simple and the apartment was just what we needed for a base of operations in Manhattan. The proximity to the Staten Island Ferry was fantastic; my wife and I chose to walk both to and from the terminal, but there were plenty of taxis, buses, etc. available should you choose not to walk. We had a tasty diner breakfast at Jerry's 637 Diner on Bay Street (a ten-minute walk from the apartment)--would definitely recommend going there if you're hungry. Would definitely stay again.
