Nicholas was very flexible with the changes of dates, with the early check-in and late check-out and had with us details more typical of a friend than of an airbnb host. The fact of being in Staten Island allowed us to enjoy two free ferry trips every day (I recommend going to the bottom floor of the ferry, ahead of everything (in the bow) where you will be able to sit on a staircase and see the sea as if you were driving the boat) The room is fine, I would just put some incense to cover the smell of old-wet wood. The bathroom is a bit old but it was clean. Do not fail to try his coffee breakfast + toast with scrambled eggs! The neighborhood seems safe and the ferry is about 5 minutes walk. Definitely I recommend him as a host!
