We spent New Year's eve at Remy's place. The location was perfect for watching the fireworks (~half block form the beach) and enjoying the festivities. You can actually see some of the fireworks from the balcony, but we decided to join the crowd on the beach to get the full experience. There are at least 5 excellent restaurants within a couple blocks of the apartment, including very good Lebanese restaurant downstairs. A small grocery store is ~1 block away. The space was beautifully decorated, with everything as advertised. Check-in and communication were simple. I would highly recommend Remy's apartment, and would definitely stay here again!
