Anna's place was exactly what we needed for a few days near the beach, but with access to the city. The subway goes right into the city, and while you can hear it a bit outside window, it's not disruptive at all. The beach is a quick 5 min walk away and we had a great time getting to the water so easily. There's a really special community out in Rockaway so head out there for a different way to experience NYC. Lastly, Anna was super responsive and clear about accessing the place, totally seamless check in and out.
