Vladimir's place is clean and just as described. He is available for any needs and just for a friendly hello. The block leads directly to a relaxed, secluded part of the beach. There is even a playground at the end of the street. The neighbors became our friends by the end of our stay. My family and I stayed here for a whole week and did not want to leave. The Rockaway are amazing and this spot is a happy medium between city and beach.
