Stay here the next time you run the NYC marathon
Review Submitted: November 8, 2009
Date of Stay: October 2009
My husband and I and another couple rented this lovely home when we ran the 2009 NYC marathon. Getting the shuttle to the start line was a piece of cake, just a five block walk to the ferry terminal, where runners, biffy's and many marathon shuttles were waiting. Convenient to many good restaurants (walk a bit more down Bay Street to the blue restaurant) including the tapas Beso and Italian Enoteca. Only downside was the loud street traffic when you're trying to sleep. Not a big deal though, pros far outweigh the cons.

Owner's Response: The street noise on Staten Island is far quieter than in Manhattan, Brooklyn or Queens anywhere at any time. This is still the city if New York, the biggest town in the USA.
But Jodi and Nate were wonderful and if they visit next year for the Big Run I will supply them with ear plugs.
