Great place and unique area of NYC! I felt it was very spacious for an NYC apartment. Bedrooms were comfortable too. Everything you could need in the kitchen, but some really good food nearby too. It was fun exploring a different side of NY, I felt safe in this area and the beach right down the block is nice, fun to look for shells and watch the surfers even in the offseason. My son also loved watching the planes coming in from the window! Just a heads up for kids it is 2 flights up and would be good to bring a gate for the top of the stairs, but something could be maneuvered to block it if you aren't able to bring one!
