I hosted my bachelorette party at Vladimir's large apartment near Rockaway beach. The location was perfect - it's two blocks from the beach and two blocks from the subway. I had a lot of friends coming from all over the country, so it was great to be so close to JFK and the train. We cooked all our own meals and had a great time just hanging out in the house. There are plenty of beds - four twins, a queen, and two full-size futon couches in the living room - and plenty of seating. The beach nearby is quiet and was not crowded on a perfect, hot, sunny day in New York, which is hard to find. There was a great little stand selling cold brew and pastries. Additionally, there is a shopping center nearby with a huge Stop and Shop where we bought all our groceries for a very good price. It's very convenient to come with a big group as there is an entry code and you don't have to worry about picking up keys. The bathrooms were clean and the showers had good water pressure.
All of that said, this is definitely a basic Airbnb. I chose it for the price and location, and the description was quite accurate. But the floors were pretty dirty (we had to wash our feet before going to bed), and the lack of AC (which is disclosed accurately) is pretty rough on a hot NYC summer night. There were several fans (one was broken) that helped immensely, but do keep this in mind if you have trouble sleeping in hot weather. There is about one towel per person, so if you want to go to the beach and shower, I advice bringing an extra one.
I definitely recommend this if you're looking for a budget option close to the beach in New York that can fit a lot of people, but keep its limitations in mind.
