Monika was an excellent host and quickly responded to any questions I had. Her place was very clean and spacious. The location was perfect. We stayed during the winter but I’m sure it’s even better in the summer since it’s so close to the beach. Lots of good restaurants not too far away, and walking distance to a few as well. Plenty of parks nearby for those who have kids. We stayed in this area because our relatives we were visiting live in Howard Beach, so the drive to Howard Beach was very easy. We went into the city twice, and the drive wasn’t too bad either.
