Reviewer Comments:
Apt is on 2nd floor of house&is located in a very quiet residential neighborhood @2 blocks from the beach. It is part of an ongoing renovation of rental properties. Very clean inside however be advised that inside window frames (we wanted windows open to get nice breezes) are disgustingly filled with crud. We did see a few roaches at night. Gal in charge exterminated promptly and we didn't see any more. This apt is next door to an uninhabited home that is used for a dump while renovations are going on, not to mention all the garbage/recycle cans are located in this area, very smelly and we wondered what critters were roaming around at night. We parked our car in the space there and our car's tire picked up a screw uniquely used for the metal roofing. Luckily we made it home to NJ OK. Looking at the home from street side (34&1/2 st) is not a very welcome sight. They are focusing their renovations on the common courtyard behind the property (eventually with a pool) and despite the apt being newly painted, tiled, pergo floored with new appliances and furniture, upon closer look, it is apparent that it was a quick fix: no cabinet knobs, high hat lighting not finished, floors are not level, deck is in disrepair-not level with rotten wood and loose steps, all trim along floors were not leveled so there are spaces between the floor and woodwork, no closets, no broom, no kitchen towels, no dish drainer (we thought apt would have a dishwasher and washer/dryer - not in this smaller unit we found out) no hooks to hang towels/clothing....Pros: bed was very comfortable, water was hot, towels were plentiful, large TVs. We booked this very quickly to get a change of scenery during the C19 pandemic. Wished I had done more research on other properties in the area. Overall, it was OK but I would not return. Keeping my fingers crossed that I did not bring any infamous Virginia roaches home to NJ.
