Esther was fantastic and more than accommodating. She has a great packet of things to do, places to go, etc. She made us feel at home and allowed us to use their bikes to ride down the beach and their washer/dryer to get some laundry done. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking to stay somewhere relaxing near the beach. The city is a very short walk to the L train away. There are some great restaurants within 10-15 minute walk of the studio.
