The apartment was about what I expected - pretty basic but plenty of room for my entire family. We liked that the beach was located just a short walk down the road, and there are plenty of restaurants and stores nearby. Also, the A train into Manhatten is at the end of the street, which is very convenient. Even though we arrived at the apartment late, we had to wait for the cleaning people to finish up before we could enter, but I did find that Vladimir responded to my calls and texts in a timely manner.
