Cute clean no frills studio apt, 10 minutes walking distance from beach. It is a basement apt but very light and airy. Low ceiling if you are 6’ tall but not an issue for me! No kitchen sink or coffee maker but microwave and mini fridge. If you are taking ferry from Manhattan or Brooklyn , from B108 there is a free shuttle bus that will drop you off at 129th St a 10 -12 min walk to Joes apt. Bus comes every time ferry arrives.
For me it was all about close proximity to the beach as we didn’t spend a lot of time in the apt, only to shower and sleep. Beach towels and chairs were provided which I wish I knew prior to my stay; didn’t use them as we just plopped our stuff in backyard bin ( we arrived prior to the 2pm check in) & hit the beach. Joe was very helpful in communicating restaurants and offering a later check out. My only suggestion would be to add a few more hangers and hand towels. Would definitely stay again!
