Marek and Grace were amazing hosts and their place is a lovely oasis of peace and comfort just a half a block from the beach. You can’t beat the location, with the boardwalk concessions of 98th street a couple minute walk from the apartment. There you have the Fruteria, for tasty, healthy breakfasts and all sorts of other food options later in the day, including veg and vegan offerings. The Low Tide bar serves drinks starting in the afternoon and hosts great live music and DJ’s. There is even a surf shop where you can rent gear or buy beach items.
The apartment is perfect for a couple—we loved the quiet and the pretty backyard and garden. Everything was very clean and Marek and Grace gave us our space but were available anytime over the phone. They were able to let us check in a little early and leave a little later than our checkout time so we could make the most of the beach. Obviously, this was dependent on the schedule of their outgoing and incoming guests but I wanted to point it out by way of describing how easy going and accommodating they are.
Grace met us for check in and showed us everything and was very welcoming. We felt right at home as soon as we arrived.
In the neighborhood near the apartment are all kinds of restaurants and cafes. The subway is only a couple minute walk away and there are several bus lines nearby as well. We didn’t need a car the whole weekend though we had budgeted on using a Lyft, it wasn’t necessary to have a great and relaxing time.
We look forward to hopefully staying here again in the near future!!!
