The apartment we were in was not ready for guests. I think Ed is working on it. The shower was fixed on 2x4 and the trimming was not complete in the bathroom.
The fact that the ocean is across the street and the subway for NY is near the apartment is definitely the positive side of this place.
The private parking is a nightmare! Once your car is parked, which is not an easy thing to achieve, you can't have access to it unless you give the host a 2 hour notice.
You must be aware that the neighbourhood is uncertain.
There are lots of people on drugs in the streets.
