Had a great 4th of july weekend in the rockaways!
Place was fantastic, looks like it was just redone. One block off the A train, 2 blocks to the beach. The apartment was much bigger than expected. Large kitchen and living room on the 2nd floor and 3 large bedrooms on the 3rd floor. Cannot beat the location and price.
Vlad was an excellent host, one of the best I have had in all my stays. Lives right downstairs, but gave us the utmost privacy. Was extremely responsive and friendly. Shot him a few texts over the weekend and he answered every one really quickly. Was very flexible to anything we asked, have nothing but good things to say!
Rockaways is a very underrated beach destination. Great waves for surfers, clean beaches and cool bars/food spots for later in the evening. Plus it's only an hour away from the city!
