• Reviewer: Saxon

  Comments: The hosts were so friendly and incredibly helpful! Everything was so clean and comfortable. As for accessibility, the train ride wasn't too long, and it's always fun to take the ferry past the Statue of Liberty!

• Reviewer: Katelyn

  Comments: Great place, looked exactly like the pictures. The host was super friendly, and very helpful when it came to any questions. I asked to check in a couple hours early, and she was very welcoming. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and even came with basic kitchen items which was a nice surprise. The location is slightly far from the city, but super close to the train which takes you right to the ferry, the host was even nice enough to give me a ride to the train. There is also a CVS located directly behind the apartment which was very useful. I would highly recommend this listing to anyone, and plan on staying here again in the future. They also had an adorable gift basket waiting for me.

  Comments: Our stay at Michella's was amazing! We were actually hosted by her lovely mother Ella who was nice enough to let us check in an hour early. They also welcomed us with a cute basket filled with complimentary fruits and treats. We were pleased to see that the place was stocked up with basic essentials which was great for us (cereal, milk, water, shower essentials etc). The bed was also VERY comfortable and relaxing. We will definitely stay there again if we're ever in that area :)

  Comments: My stay was exceptional, the hime was exactly as shown in the picture. I booked it for my birthday weekend and when i arrived she had a came and balloon waiting for me. Pantry was supplied with basic breakfast item such as coffee, cereal for a quick bite before heading, a gorgeous little fruit bowl. Christmas is my favorite holiday and i loved walking into the side door not only to find the lights glistening on the home , but the warm well thought out christmas decor. I absolutely loved and enjoyed my stay. She is very helpful and quick to respond I felt as if i was in my own home.

  Comments: Michella and Ella were extremely helpful in guidance to public transportation, which was all we needed to get into Manhattan and other areas of NYC! The apartment stands out a lot, the moment we stepped in we were amazed and felt very comfortable, 10/10. Very clean apartment, and has EVERYTHING you would need, even kitchen wares and utensils. They even had milk, bread, fruits, cereal, coffee, etc. for us!

• Reviewer: Dennis

  Comments: Great place to stay. Close to the local train station and buses. The place was warm, clean, and the shower had great pressure. Hope to stay here again!

• Reviewer: Leticia

  Comments: What a wonderful experience! Michella, her sister Veronika and her parents are the most friendly, welcoming, helpful host. They reached key hospitality goals. They concerned if I stayed comfortable and offered assistance to roam around NYC. They made sure I didn't get lost in the city :) This place is modern, warm and lovely. Pictures are really accurate. I highly recommend it!

• Reviewer: MeMe

  Comments: My girlfriend and I loved this place! It was clean and nicely kept. Michella was very friendly. It was very easy to get from there to the (free) ferry into NYC! We had a great experience and highly recommend this place.

• Reviewer: Lindsay

  Comments: My mom and I stayed here for a girls getaway after a stressful semester in my nursing Masters program. This was just what we needed. We were greeted sweetly at our arrival, and the place was spotless and smelled wonderful (and we are picky)!! The bed was soooo comfy and the decor was in such good taste!! We loved the little snacks and having the essentials already in the fridge when we arrived! We enjoyed our breakfasts of toast, fresh fruit, and hot tea, and the ferry rides and early morning/late night walks through the cute neighborhoods were thoroughly enjoyed! Thanks for being such amazing hosts and for the great communication before, during, and after our stay!! HIGHLY recommend this place if you want a quiet cute place to rest away from the big city!! Would love to stay again!! (:

• Reviewer: Sherry

  Comments: If you are looking for a friendly, welcoming environment look no further. The apartment was the perfect location for home base after a day of adventuring in NYC. Our host family was very gracious and helpful. They get 5 stars all around!

• Reviewer: Kim

• Reviewer: Sarah

  Comments: Great place, awesome hosts!

• Reviewer: Szilvia

  Comments: Ella and her family are great people, fantastic hosts, their home is excellent. Close to public tranportation, you can get to Manhattan in 60 min. The house is exactly as on the pictures, clean, friendly, in a nice region of Staten Island. Highly recommended, we spent a wonderful week here. Ella, thanks a lot for all your great support and warm welcome, we will come back for sure:)

• Reviewer: Sjoerd

  Comments: Great place to stay, hour away grom Manhattan. Great host and lovely neighborhood! Deffinetly recommend this to anyone who is on a holiday.

• Reviewer: Moritz

  Comments: Our stay in Ellas apartment was perfect. The communication with Ella and her daughter (and also with the cute dogs) was very good. They helped us a lot with the transit to NYC and gave us tips regarding sightseeing and so on. On arriving, Veronika showed us the neighborhood and supported us with necessary and helpful information. The apartment was very clean and there was nothing missing. The kitchen is fully equipped and the decoration is also very nice. We had enough towels and the bed was very comfortable. The connections to Manhattan are very good. There is a bus which starts near the house (3 minutes footwalk) which goes directly through the city centre (approx. 1 hour). Another possibility is to get by train and ferry. Directly beside the house there is a CVS (supermarket). All in all we had an memorable stay in the apartment, there was nothing missing. The fridge was equipped with eggs, milk and cheddar and so on. Everything for a little breakfast had been provided by Ella. If we get the chance, we will stay again in Ellas apartment.

• Reviewer: Mary

  Comments: We stayed at Michella's place this weekend while we were in NYC for the 5 Boro Bike Tour. The 40 mile event finishes by crossing the Verrazano Bridge and crossing into Staten Island. The AirB&B was very convenient for this. Any one looking for a place next May should check this one out! It was absolutely clean and very comfortable for our stay. It was a 5 minute walk to the trail station that takes you right into the ferry building for a quick trip on the ferry to be right in the city.

• Reviewer: Kurt

  Comments: A modern, impeccably clean, comfortable apartment with it's own entrance. A full size refrigerator, gas stove, eye level 1000 watt microwave, cable tv, fully furnished with pots, pans, silverware, dishes, bowls etc. Shower has great water pressure. Close to Express buses and the train. Fast trip into Manhattan or Brooklyn. 5 New York style pizzarias within a mile. World class Sushi nearby. Ella, our host, was extremely helpful and nice. She made us feel at home. We will definitely stay here again.

• Reviewer: Wendy

  Comments: Fab apartment in a great location for NYC. Ella is a lovely lady, who supplies chocolate, cakes and other necessaries. Ella and her family are warm, kind people and are great hosts. The apartment is on the lower floor and is bright, airy and modern. A great place to cook, eat and relax after a day out in the city - which is very accessible from the property. It is very clean, tidy and user friendly. I would give the whole package a 10/10 and would like to visit again, if the opportunity arose. This was my first Airbnb and I am so very impressed.

• Reviewer: Jia

  Comments: It's really a enjoyable place to live. Ella is really friendly and helped us to do a lot of things. She drove us to exchange money and caught the bus. It's always our memory to stay in NYC. Thanks a lot!

• Reviewer: Hans-Joachim

Nearby there is an express bus to Manhattan anytime. Thanks so much Ella for your hospitality. Yannick and Perrine

• Reviewer: Matthew

  Comments: Would absolutely recomment this beautiful apartment to anyone stayin in NYC. It was perfect. We both enjoyed the stay and would definitely consider staying here again if we come back to NYC. Ella was so helpful and even went out of her way to show us around a few blocks and to a lovely park nearby. Also went and bought us bread and milk which was very thoughtful we must say! The apartment had everything from cereal to all cutlery aswel as shampoos and plenty of clean towels.

• Reviewer: Dany

  Comments: If you like to sleep without noises, lights, traffic sounds o parties near by, this is the best option if your are planning to spend some days in New York City, Manhattan. We arrived and there was food in the refrigerator that saved our life when we arrived at 2am after a long flight from Mexico, migration line and transportation from de airport. The space is really confortable and perfect to relax after a long day in the city. Near by the house is a pharmacy, a lot of good food places, the rail train that takes you to the ferry and than to the city. Plus a lot of buses to go to Manhattan. It is not so close to the city but the transportation is really safe and enjoyable. Plus, it's the perfect place if you are looking for a different kind of trip, one a bit more adventurous and free, not like checking in a hotel in Times Square, but really knowing you will be getting the rest you need to enjoy your vacation. Ella and the family were awesome hosts and made us feel at home. We are so happy that we found this place, I totally recommend.

• Reviewer: Catherine

  Comments: The apartment on Staten Island couldn't be nicer and the hosts are lovely too. The apartment is just as described with toiletries in the bathroom and bread, ham, preserves, water and butter in the fridge plus tea, coffee and milk. There is a fan and air conditioning in the bedroom and it's a very comfortable queen size bed. The apartment is immaculate and fresh. The hosts also have two adorable Pomeranian that my son loved and played with, which made us feel relaxed and at home. A wonderful stay, thank you Ella, Michelle and Veronika xxx

Ещё раз спасибо огромное за отдых!!!

• Reviewer: Camille

  Comments: Could not have hoped for a better first experience with Airbnb! We received such a warm welcome from Michella, always ready to help, giving advices, and even offering snacks. Moreover, the flat was very clean and comfy, we really enjoyed our stay at her place and would happily consider coming back next time we'll be visiting the Big Apple - hopefully soon ;)

• Reviewer: N.J.

  Comments: We loved staying in your beautiful appartment it was clean and comfortable. A great place to stay. You were very friendly en helpful, we want to thank you for that. You are a great host. We have had a wonderful time in New York.

• Reviewer: Simon

  Comments: This little apartment in Staten Island is great. Located walking distance to the buses and trains which in turn get you into Manhattan, from there the subway can get you the rest of the way if you wish to go further. Ella and her family were so welcoming. Ella went out of her way to show us around locally and point out the train station, bus stop and shops. We highly recommend, great location, great value, great hosts. Thanks again :)

• Reviewer: Jodi

  Comments: Ella's home was perfect for my trip. The place was clean, quiet, and cozy with many amenities I needed. Ella and her mother always got back to me quickly when I was in need of anything. There is a CVS located very close and several resteraunts and delis/bakeries also within walking distance. If I ever come back to Great Kills I would stay in Ellas home again.

• Reviewer: Beth

  Comments: Ella and Victor were the most gracious hosts. Their cozy place was exactly what we needed for our trip. It is very clean and all the thoughtful extras were appreciated. Perfect place for 2. We will stay again when in town!

  Comments: Ella was a great host ..I had a lovely time everything was nice & clean.Ella was very polite & welcoming I came a stranger & believe I departed with knowing a friend ..The place was nice & clean I loved the attention to detail ..She made my daughters feel very special & they loved every bit of attention from her dogs. I would definitely stay here again when I visit..Ella was also accommodating considering last minute I brought both my young daughters instead of one; she also made sure I knew how to get around town & even offered to help with obtaining metro cards for us ..In all I enjoyed the apartment , the area & the host it was all perfect for A holiday get away

• Reviewer: Janet

  Comments: Michella is a great host. She goes over and above to make your stay good. Lovely apartment. We would book here again and tell our friends. Although the apartment is a little away from the Staten Island Ferry it gives you time to relax away from the busy city. Transport is good and cheap or free .

• Reviewer: Jan

  Comments: What was special about this apartment? EVERYTHING! Ella and Victor are beautiful hosts - very considerate and caring. The apartment is stylish, clean and comfortable. The location, though away from Manhattan, is a haven to come home to at the end of the day. There are foods in the fridge for breakfast, milk for the morning or evening cuppa, little treats in the cupboard - my list could go on but I think you get the general idea. Would I recommend this haven to others? Yes! Will I be back? Yes, I hope so. If Lady Luck brings us back to New York - most definitely!

• Reviewer: Maggie

  Comments: We loved our stay! The apartment was beautifully decorated and spotless. The refrigerator and kitchen were already stocked with all of the essentials!! The host was excellent, she even gave us a ride to the train station on our last day!

• Reviewer: Skyler

  Comments: Checkin was easy and the place was beautiful. There was an unavoidable issue with flooding of the apartment but Ella and Victor were phenomenal hosts. Despite having to move to another room on my last night, the whole experience was great.

• Reviewer: Tommy

  Comments: Worst rental i have ever had.. barking dogs upstairs at night.. host harassed fiancé several times and told her she was watching cameras to see when she came and left the residence and was approached more than once and had to dispute charges and book a hotel for fiance.. NEVER BOOK WITH HER!!!

• Reviewer: Tina

  Comments: This is the perfect (Website hidden by Airbnb) was immaculate. The decor is modern and bright. This was our first trip to the NY area and our first experience with an airbnb--It couldnt have been a better trip. Ella is a special lady--it was my daughters birthday and she was welcomed with a beautiful rose and balloon. If you are considering this property--there is NOTHING to consider!!!! We cannot wait to return.

Five star stay!

  Comments: This was the cleanest Airbnb i've ever seen. Ella and her husband were so helpful (so we found the best supermarket on staten island; (thank you! :-). They offered us watermelon on a hot day. ...nice conversations and funny dogs. Me and my family would stay there again.

• Reviewer: Anita

  Comments: A wonderful place, extremely clean and very welcoming host! I highly recommend!

• Reviewer: Jenny

  Comments: Die Unterkunft war super. Sehr sauber, schön eingerichtet und es ist alles vorhanden was man in einer normalen Wohnung findet (incl. Duschbad ect., sollte man doch mal etwas vergessen). Manhattan kann man sehr gut mit dem Bus oder per Bahn (SIR) und Staten Ferry erreichen. Beides fährt halbstündlich. Dafür sollte man insgesamt eine gute Stunde einplanen. Ella war super nett und sehr, sehr hilfsbereit. Es blieb kein Wunsch offen. Sehr praktisch war, dass gleich an der Wohnung ein CVS ist. Dort kann man alles für ein tolles Frühstück einkaufen. Danke liebe Ella für die tolle Zeit.

• Reviewer: Brendon

  Comments: Amazing hospitality, invited us to her family BBQ the first night we got there, drove us to the train station if we needed etc. Truly an amazing host

• Reviewer: Emily

  Comments: Our stay here was great! We loved the modern space. It was clean and relaxing and the host was very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

• Reviewer: Ibrahim

  Comments: Overall 10/10 experience, will stay here again the next time I visit NYC. The apartment is clean, modern, and in a safe area. The hosts are very kind and helpful! The location is on Staten Island, about a 2 minute walk to bus stops leading to Manhattan/other parts of NYC, and about a 15 minute walk to the Staten Island Railway, which leads directly to a free 24/7 ferry between Staten and Manhattan. mass transit is much cheaper than taxis/ubers, so be sure to get a Metrocard for your trip. look into the price of a 7 day unlimited bus+subway pass, it is most likely the best option if you plan on taking the bus/train more than once a day. The place is clean, comfortable, and fairly convenient. You do have to take a ~40 minute bus ride or a hour long rail+ferry ride to get to Manhattan, but I happily sat through the commute knowing that I saved a good chunk of money staying here, and that I was staying in comfort.

• Reviewer: Alexis

  Comments: This was my first time using Airbnb and I am so happy with my stay at Ella’s. The apartment was clean and very modern. It felt like home which was great because sometimes I get home sick! Lol. Ella was very fast at responding to us when we had questions and she had awesome tips on places to go and how to get to the city. She was super sweet as well. When we come back to New York we will definitely be staying here again. Thank you again Ella!

• Reviewer: Alejandro

  Comments: Completamente recomendable! Lo paseos en Ferry, la vista, la seguridad y la comodidad son cosas que se valoran.

• Reviewer: Ludmila

  Comments: Впервые путешествовали в Америку и это был наипрекраснейший медовый месяц для нас без капли преувеличения. Хозяева отличные, отзывчивые и прекрасные люди! Всегда помогут и подскажут, если есть какие-то вопросы. Сами апартаменты отличные! Очень чисто, современный дизайн, даже все необходимые продукты были для завтраков! Для тех, кто очень сильно уделяет внимание удобству сна - матрас отличный и очень удобный, подушки имеются разной мягкости и величины (для вас точно найдётся из них самая удобная). Месторасположение - очень удобное. Рядом есть всё! В шаговой доступности автобус, поезд (чтоб добраться до Ferry до Манхеттена), магазины, рестораны, бары. Если кому-то приглянулись эти апартаменты - даже не раздумывайте! Смело едьте именно сюда! Были очень рады познакомиться с хозяевами! Впечатления от всего остались только самые лучшие! Спасибо большое!

  Comments: Die Unterkunft ist top ausgestattet, es fehlt an nichts. In der Küche war auch alles vorhanden, was man zum Kochen und Frühstücken benötigt, inkl. Kaffee, Tee, Cornflakes, Chips etc. Der Kühlschrank war bei unserer Ankunft für das Frühstück gefüllt mit leckeren Sachen. Wir brauchten uns die erste Zeit nicht um einen Einkauf bemühen. Zudem befindet sich ein Supermarkt gleich in der Nähe. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Gastgeber sind super freundlich und hilfsbereit und geben gerne Tipps für Ausflüge. Das Auto kann man auch direkt in der Straße parken. Zu Fuß sind es ca. 10-15 Minuten zur Bahnstation wo der Zug zur Fähre nach Manhattan fährt. Der Zug ist bis zur Fähre umsonst. Dort muss man dann mit der Metrokarte in die Fähre einchecken. Bei uns hat die einfache Fahrt 2,75 Dollar gekostet. Dafür ist dann die nächste Fahrt mit der U-Bahn kostenfrei. Wir sind gerne mit dem Zug+Fähre gefahren und fanden es schön noch etwas von der Gegend zu sehen. Wir können die Unterkunft weiterempfehlen!

• Reviewer: Fred

  Comments: It was clean, plenty linens, she ad goodie like snacks, milk in the fridge, eggs, multi grain bread, cream cheese, coffee, tea, of course we eaten-out every night, a very good heater, it was nice and toasty specially for us coming from Florida. We will go back.

• Reviewer: Geribel

  Comments: hay varios puntos a favor 1. limpieza, organización y elegante. lo que no me agradó 1. La anfitriona se entró en el apartamento sin permiso y mi esposo y yo estábamos desnudos. sólo para preguntar si deseábamos lavar ropa. entiendo que no fue la mejor manera aunque se disculpó pero luego no me sentía segura durante la estadía.

• Reviewer: Randall

  Comments: If you’re anything like me, you’ve gotten as far as reading this because you were drawn by how vibrant this location is. After spending 3 nights i can confidently tell you this apartment is full of character, depth, complexity and fun. It was as if I was living inside an oil painting. Every room felt like it had something refreshingly different to offer. I couldn’t help but appreciate the degree of comfort and creativity this place offered me as a guest. Communication: 5/5 From basic inquiries on the AirBNB platform to the exchanges we had via texts. Responses were immediate. Amenities: 5/5 There was nothing additional I could’ve thought to ask for outside what was already listed. Everything/Anything else was a pleasant surprise. Cleanliness: 5/5 No complaints. Not one. Because the designs, colors, shapes, etc. cause you to take in the atmosphere it’s quite easy to see if there were areas of concern. I couldn’t find one. Location: 5/5 Dependent on what you’re looking for or where you’re trying to go, this may vary. For my girlfriend and I, It was perfect. Restaurants are in walking distance. Ubereats is always an option. CVS is literally a min away. It was ideal. Host: I love Ella. 10/10 Be it today’s social climate where people’s sentiment toward one another appear to be easily swayed because of political views, sexual orientation, etc. or the simple fact that you never know who you’ll meet or how they’ll treat you. As a black couple, we couldn’t help but feel like Ella was an extension of our own family. She’s very charming. Everything you see will make sense once you met the host… She’s a warm, beautiful soul. No need to hesitate.

• Reviewer: April

  Comments: Hands down the best Airbnb experience I’ve had to date. The apartment is clean and comfortable and had been decorated for the holidays. The neighborhood is quiet and safe but a short walk to stores and restaurants. And Ella was the nicest host. She brought me honey and cough drops when I got sick, checked in on me regularly and even brought Christmas gifts for my daughter. My only complaint is that their place is so popular you have to book so far in advance. But the popularity is well earned. We will definitely be back!

• Reviewer: Abigail

  Comments: I got to say, this AirBnB is excellent; clean, great smell, confortable, great decorations, nice space. It has absolutely everything you need. Really close to the subway, the transportation is extremely easy to go to the city. This was a unique experience, wish that we could have stayed more time in there. Thanks Ella, for always being there and do your best for us to have a confortable stay. Veronika, thanks for all your recommendations. Tom and Michelle, thanks for being so kind to us at the moment that we needed. They all make you feel like friends. Hope to be back, and it was great to meet you all. XOXO, Abby and Mylon
