I have been staying at Air B&B's for the last few years and I have to say that this has been the BEST yet! This is the perfect get away that offers you the best of both worlds when visiting New York. Enjoy being less than a block away from the beach with nice waves, friendly locals, and great concessions stands and music (in summer). Then when you want to go into the city you can walk to the ferry and pay just $2.75 for a relaxing scenic view into the Big Apple. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Marek is more than hospitable and very accommodating. The courtyard garden in the back is amazing-you almost don't feel like your in New York! I even had a humming bird come and visit while there. Definitely coming back :)
