John's apartment was exactly how it was advertised and the photo's displayed. There were no surprises there and his communication, hospitality and kindness were all 5 star. Wifi, technology, shower, appliances all worked fine and plenty of hot water and water pressure as well. The apartment also has plenty of snacks, towels and I felt very comfortable there. Regarding the location, the apartment is a few blocks away from the boardwalk while being a 2 minute walk to a strip of shops, delis, cafes, a CVS, supermarket and if you walk a further 10 minutes and even 20 minutes you will pass more restaurants, shops and such. I liked being on that specific side of Rockaway Beach as there were more amenities compared to being closer to Riis Park area. Not only did I enjoy my stay but already told John I would likely be back to Rockaway Beach and very much would love to stay at his place again.
