Melissa's apartment was great. Clean, cozy, exactly as it looked in the pictures. We enjoyed being only a few meters from the boardwalk/ beach, yet being also about an hour away from central Manhattan. It was also much quieter and peaceful during the night than it would have been in the middle of NYC so we were able to sleep well. Melissa provided everything we needed in the kitchen/ bathroom, we didn't need to bring anything. nice bagel shop and bus stop right downstairs, safe parking as well. My wife, daughter and I would highly recommend for seaside vacationers outside of the city!
