Monika's apartment in Arverne is really wonderful. It looks exactly like on the pictures, so there are no surprises. Except for the super cleaniness of the apartment, the immediate feeling like being at home and Monika's friendliness and approachability. Whatever question you might have before or during your stay she will be there to help you and accommodate your needs. We were staying for 3 days and had a really great time in the quiet of Rockaway Beach. It's easily accessible with the subway from Manhattan and you still feel like being in a totally different world, relaxed, quiet and easy-going. The supermarket is 5 minutes walking distance, the beach is just foodsteps away, there is no need for a car at all.
Thank you for the pleasant stay!
