The beach-house was very nicely decorated, full of cute details and clean. The neighborhood has quaint homes with friendly people. It's pleasant to walk around. Don't forget to bring your coffee grounds. There is a decent coffee maker. No microwave though. I am sensitive to sound so the train whistle did wake me up 4-5 times during the night and early morning. It did not bother my husband as much. The second night, I wore earplugs and that was better. We did not get to meet our hosts but they communicated promptly via text. Parking on the street was easy right in front. We could walk to a nice coffee place on 8th ave.
