The hosts were great. Very accommodating and stayed up late to allow me to check in late due to traffic. The pictures are pretty accurate about apartment. Very clean and has the basic essentials you will need. Only thing I would mention is it's 5 flights up stairs only. So pack light or expect to make a few trips. Also since you are right by the board walk (which is beyond convenient if you need to be in this area. It's right near public trans, stores, and highway) however, it gets very loud because of the rides and board walk festivities. The announcer starts pretty early on the loud speaker about prizes and rides etc. So be prepared for an early wake up if your a light sleeper. Other than that you can't beat the price and the value. The hosts live in the building which makes it convenient if you need something or if something goes wrong. And they supply all of the necessities towels, blankets etc.
