We stayed at Nicole's for a month (we were in the process of relocating), and although it was not summer, we enjoyed the great location. The apartment is right across the street from the beach and the boardwalk. The area is very nice, with supermarkets, restaurants, everything you need is within walking distance. The A train is short walk away (10 mns) and it takes you straight into Manhattan in about 45-50 mns. The apartment is located in a very nice building, with elevators. Everyone in the building was very nice. The apartment is large, very convenient, and with beautiful views. Nicole was always checking with us, and always responsive when we had questions. We really loved our stay. Highly recommend.
