The location is the best if you want a balance of touring the city (the subway is near) and hitting the beach (you literally have to only cross one street). There are also lots of groceries and restaurants nearby. My mother thought the neighborhood looks intimidating but there were cops everywhere anyway so I felt secure.
As for the space, it's comfortable but maybe loud at night since the amusement parks are right there. We used their fan to cool off the room as well as a white noise machine to drown out the noise nicely. The space, I would say, would be most comfortable for one or two people. Everything is provided with lots of towels and even a beach umbrella to borrow. Will stay here again for sure.
