Like other reviews, Vladimir was a great host. Responsive when contacted, and offered ideas for things to do. Location was great, close to the beach and train station. Coming in from out of town, we felt safe in the neighborhood and locals offered parking advice. The only drawback was the temp. We visited during a heat wave, and with no air it was uncomfortable at times. Vladimir did provide plenty of fans, and we brought a few of our own as well after reading the reviews. I'm sure a week earlier or later and we would have been fine. Can't do much about a 115+ heat index, 90% humidity. I would definitely recommend this to people, great access to the city of Long Island, safe location, gracious host.
