Ed's place is decent for a few days trip and if you're looking to spend more time at the beach, enjoying the activities the areas has to offer. It is about an hour trip to the city on the subway so if being in the city-Manhattan and all that is your plan, this location might be a bit far. The unit was clean and okay for the purpose and cost shown, being NYC. The only "con" to this place is the unit being on the 4th floor and having to climb multiple stairs especially if you have luggage. But if you're up for a climb then go for it. Overall, Ed is very responsive with communication, and when I requested to have the animals removed he agreed.
