One refreshing aspect of Melissa’s Airbnb was the profusion of REAL PLANTS, to the exclusion of a single fake one. This shows a rare attention to good taste, according well with her overall sense of interior design. Add to this a cosmopolitan library of books and magazines, along with copious tourist documentation. On top of this, the place was spotlessly clean. Finally, we were a short walk from the boardwalk, a perfect surfing beach, and a plethora of ethnic eateries. The icing on the cake was a scrumptious bagel/breakfast deli sharing a house number with this second-storey walkup.
