The location is perfect! Right on the beach. A couple blocks from Belmont Park (amusement park). Loved the little private deck to sit and enjoy the surf and beautiful view. So perfectly peaceful. Richard seems like a great guy. He was so very patient and helpful when I had temporarily lost my key to his place and the garage door opener! (found them both). I felt like I had my privacy- but, Richard was around, and very friendly if I felt like interacting. The room and accommodations were very comfortable and clean, though a little run down. Access to the refrigerator and microwave were a little less convenient than other places I've stayed. Sharing the owner's kitchen is a little awkward for me. But, Richard had dishes and eating utensils laid out for me in the morning, and a a pot of coffee ready to go. Overall a great experience. The available parking is in his garage (which is great!) but was a pretty tight fit for my Nissan Pathfinder.
