This is a great apartment in my favorite neighborhood! I love the Rockaways at any time of year, and thankfully we were there for a February heat wave. During the day, it's a little far to the city by public transport, but still doable, and at night it's an easy enough drive.
I love the neighborhood. The Key Foods, wine shop, bagel spot are all super legit (so are the tacos in warmer months). The beach is moments away.
The apartment was perfect, it's at the back of the building so it's quiet. The look is minimal and clean, which is how I prefer my AirBnbs. Plenty of linens and pillows, cozy beds. Great water pressure in the shower. Adequate kitchen supplies and a gas stove.
Communication was always quick, any little question I had was answered very promptly, and check in/out were seamless.
Great place!
