About this place

Our home has one guest bedroom on the 1st-floor of our house. We are located in a safe & convenient suburban area of Staten Island within 2.5 blocks of walking distance to transportation.

Guests stay in a large private bedroom with a queen bed & extra floor space for a blow-up queen mattress or single cot. Other parts of the apartment which are the living room, kitchen, and bathroom are shared living spaces.

Our apartment has a kitchen, bathroom, guest bedroom, living room with a table, and a pleasant back porch to relax. Guests can feel free to watch TV in the living room and use the kitchen if they like. Guests are welcome to put some of their food in the fridge or cook their own food. We have coffee and tea available every morning.

Guests have access to a shared kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, their own bedroom, a shared living room area, and a pleasantly quiet back porch amongst many trees.

We do tend to get up during the night often and we are light sleepers. Since the living room is a shared space and it leads to the backyard, we prefer that everyone who stays here sleeps in the bedroom, not on the couch. Thank you for understanding.

Texting or messaging us would be the best bet to reach any of us that can help you. We get messages from Airbnb message service, text messages and email to the listed numbers and email address. The phone numbers are listed on Airbnb, so if you cannot see them, please use the website, check your email/junk mail, there is a welcome email with all the information in it. The specifics about your stay will be available in the room. We should be around and will likely get to meet during your stay.

1. Please prepare your toiletries before your stay. We only have a select few items to choose from. There are several stores in the area if you did not bring something you need.

2. The number of guests checking in are the only guests allowed to stay as agreed in the reservation. This is also an Airbnb rule so we would like to make sure guests fully understand. We have had a good standing here, for a while now, so we know we are hosting within the guidelines.

3. All third-party bookings (reservations made for a guest that does not match the Airbnb profile) must show ID to hosts. We will take a picture of your ID to ensure we know who you are staying at our listing if we accept your request through the third-party booking. If there is not at least one person who matches any of the guests requesting in that third-party booking, you will not be able to make/keep this reservation. We will not refund money made by a third-party booking of non-matching guests to the request.

4. Please be aware that we can not accommodate late sleepers or people who want to check out later than 11 am due to the fact that we may sometimes need to be other places and feel uncomfortable leaving our house open if we have to leave without locking our doors before guests leave. Guests who feel they need to sleep late would not be a good fit for us.

5. We like to ask our guests to communicate with us about their stay so we may be able to better accommodate you for your arrival and departure. Please keep in mind we may have plans and we work so we prefer not to leave our doors open long term. We need this information solely for those reasons. Seasoned Airbnb guests accept this and it has become natural for them to communicate with hosts openly.

Thank you for understanding.
