This was exactly what I needed for my solo beach getaway. First the studio was in a very cute building and right off the subway. IT WAS SPARKLING CLEAN and smelled great ( it was a pleasure to come back after busy day. It is in a very safe area, about 15 minutes from the bay and Eamon's ave home of many great restaurants including the famous Randazzo's clam bar and. about a 20 minute walk to Brighton Beach. JC is a great communicator and was flexible with check-in and check-out time so I could get more beach time in!
