This 160 year old house on Staten Island is good value for money with great quality breakfasts. The fresh fruit salad was delicious, as was the wonderful fruit and nut toasted bread, and there was always plenty of choices to eat. Our room was at the top of the house, with a shared bathroom. We thought we had booked an ensuite, but as there was someone already in the 4th bedroom, we had to share. The house is quite creaky due to its age, and you can hear people coming and going. But it is much cheaper than staying in Manhattan, and there is easy access by bus to the free Staten Island ferry. The bed was comfortable and as the owner lives in the house next door, you get the use of the living room.
