Great location a few blocks from
The beach.
Close to key food grocery store, Rockaway cafe with pastries and coffee, and big portions of Latinx food (cubanos, rice n beans, meats) at La Playa casual restaurant. Music and tacos at tacoway beach 2 mins away was still happening mid October. Boardwalk also still had reliable food and music weekends in October around 94th st.
Place was a great deal! John responds quickly, plus provides a bunch of snacks and drinks :) linens were super clean and beds were comfy. I was nervous the place might smell like pets since animals are permitted - it did not! The electric kettle and microwave and small fridge met our needs. A/cs worked well.
Note that if you have a toddler, a very large old dog, or have mobility issues- you need to climb 2 sets of stairs to access the apt. it’s very private once you’re in, occupies the whole floor and has a lock at the bottom of the stairwell for u.
Borrowing bikes from John was a huge plus, great way to explore the boardwalk :)
