Lisa was punctual and accommodating. Here space is well located and easy to find. Asbury is quiet this time of year and that's kind of nice. I would definitely stay there again.Steven2016-12-05T00:00:00Z
What a sweet place! Had a wonderful stay a short walk to the beach and to Cookman. The house is a real gem and lovingly taken care of I look forward to staying here again!Padraic2015-09-13T00:00:00Z
This was a great place to stay!! Much more spacious than the pictures imply. +10, will stay here againDavid2016-09-11T00:00:00Z
We had a great stay at this house! The house was stunningly decorated in Victorian antiques and two blocks from the boardwalk. Very inspiring rehab of the property. Lots of space and they have everything you need, honestly just bring a change of clothes. :) They left us a bottle of wine and bought us fresh organic eggs. Since I'm on a restricted diet, it was great for preparing my own meals. Very comfortable bed, nice sheets and thick towels were provided. We definitely would stay here again! Lisa was very accommodating and a pleasure to communicate with. Missing Asbury Park already!Stefanie2016-05-19T00:00:00Z
Lisa thought of everything you'd need for a perfect beach getaway, from the beach chairs to the beer fridge. We loved the back yard grilling situation and had a great time listening to the collection of mix tapes. It was very conveniently located, and Lisa was very helpful and welcoming. We'll definitely try to stay here again!Dorie2016-07-31T00:00:00Z
From first contact through check-out, Lisa went above & beyond to ensure that our stay was a memorable one! The house has been meticulously restored and maintained and is a short 4-5 block walk from the ocean. Upon arrival, we were given a quick tour of the property and greeted with both fresh flowers & wine! The house itself has a lot of history, tons of unique architectural details & artwork throughout with high ceilings & tons of natural light! Hard not to love it all. Lisa was really sweet, check-in / out were both flexible and she even provided a list of suggestions for eateries, things to do & local events to attend. You seriously couldn't ask for more from a host or property in Asbury Park.Vinnie2015-09-27T00:00:00Z
Lisa was the best host! Always in good communication when we needed during our trip, and went above and beyond by offering things like a pickup from the train station and arranging for us to stay an additional night because we were enjoying our weekend at the Shore so much that we didn't want to leave!! Apartment was beautiful, filled with thoughtful details such as beach chairs/towels/passes, fresh flowers, wine, a drawer full of awesome mixtapes, recommendations on things to do. The bed was also one of the most comfortable I've slept in away from home!! Would highly recommend without reservation and we look forward to coming back!!!Frances2016-08-14T00:00:00Z
lisa was very friendly and super easy to communicate with. she even moved some things around to accommodate us. the home was beautiful and interesting. easy to get to and close enough to everything.eric2016-03-31T00:00:00Z

I had a good experience staying at Hoonheui's house, he is a nice host and the place offers a nice environment, clean and quiet. The room is comfortable and the den upstairs is convenient for a quick meal. The place is located in a safe neighborhood, just about a mile from downtown with many places to grab a bite/drink. Also, the Henry Hudson Trail is near, I enjoyed going there to walk/run. Overall it was nice to stay in this place.Jorge2016-06-02T00:00:00Z
Very Clean and Tidy Home in a nice neighborhood. Mr and Mrs Hoonheui were very welcoming. They respected my privacy. First day I chose my breakfast from the items available in the fridge. For rest of the days to my pleasant surprise, Mrs Hoonheui prepared the same breakfast for me and I didn't have to even open the fridge. She even shared some snacks with me while I was leaving for office. Really impressed with the hospitality.ahsen2016-02-06T00:00:00Z

This is an incredibly charming and lovely cottage. My stay was all too short but I cannot possibly say enough wonderful things about the host, Victoria. She's incredibly communicative and truly cares about her guests. The cottage has books & games and other lovely touches and a sweet tiny-home feel.Patti2017-04-09T00:00:00Z
Lovely little place in Ocean Grove. Everything was exactly as described. Easy walk to the beach. Victoria was a pleasure to work with. Parking has always been an issue in Ocean Grove and all the houses are very close together but I knew that before I went, so all good. All amenities were provided (except you need to bring a hairdryer if you want one). Easy walk to Asbury Restaurants and boardwalk. Overall it was a lovely 2 days.Maryann2016-07-25T00:00:00Z
Victoria's tent/cottage is really what Ocean Grove is all about! We were so happy to be staying here and to discover this unique seaside community. The cottage is rustic but has every convenience of an apartment -- the kitchen is well stocked, the bathroom has a full-sized tub, the living area is very comfortable. The beach is steps away and the area (including Asbury Park) is wonderfully walkable. Parking on the weekends could potentially be very difficult. Victoria replies very promptly and gave us some nice recommendations. We would gladly return.Kathleen2016-07-21T00:00:00Z
We spent our anniversary here and had a great weekend staying in this beach cottage. It was the perfect peaceful respite from the city; its cute, quaint, super close to the beach and has everything you would need including the amenities of a small apartment. Victoria was a great host and responsive to communications. I hope to return to this place again in the future.Tine2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
Victoria was quick to reply to messages and offered several suggestions for local places to check out during our visit. One which was already on my list and one I was not familiar with. All in all the house met all of our needs for the (re) visit to Monmouth county. The only tough thing was the parking late at night, but other than that I was happy we chose to stay here.Kerri2016-08-28T00:00:00Z
Absolutely charming and quaint cottage, tastefully and practically decorated, tidy and clean and well stocked with necessities. The location is just perfect, 2-3 blocks to the amazing dining options in Asbury Park, 2-3 blocks to the safe and clean beaches of Ocean Grove/the boardwalk and 2-3 blocks to two great ice cream spots in OG. Did I mention how amazing the dining is in Asbury Park? Fabulous! We appreciated the early check in/ late check out and the privacy and quiet of being in an independent separate cottage. No trouble for us parking, if you arrive mid-day/mid-week you won't have a problem and parking is FREE in OG. We didn't move our car for two days, everything is a short walk. Highly recommend and we are definitely staying again!Mary2016-09-24T00:00:00Z
Charming, simple, quirky, unique. Located in one of nicest parts of OG. Easy and beautiful walk to beach, OG and Asbury Park boardwalks, shops, cafes, etc. There are plenty of linens and the kitchen has all necessities. Perfect for a single person, couple, or even a family with a small child. (Do note that the cottage is as adorably small as it looks. While there is space for clothes, food, and toiletries, it's limited. Giant suitcases, piles of gear and pack-n-plays will not fit.) Victoria is very nice and responsive, and provided all necessary info for a good stay. I was there in the off-season and found it to be quiet and peaceful, with easy street parking. Highly recommended for a writing retreat or similar activity!Tommy & Daria2016-09-22T00:00:00Z
Staying at Victoria's cottage was awesome! It had everything we needed - fully equipt kitchen, nice bathroom, multiple beds, sheets, towels, wifi etc. Victoria was very communicative and reached out to us before our stay to give us details about the cottage and to ask us if we would prefer to have sheets for the second bed. The cottage is located conveniently walking distance from the beach, ocean grove and asbury park. We had a car with us be ended up waking everywhere. The neighborhood was super quiet and friendly. I would definitely recommend Victoria's place to anyone interested in a pleasant beach get away. :)Sarah2016-06-30T00:00:00Z

My husband, our little dog, and I had the most wonderful time at Tom's place! He and Ya Ya his adorable 16 year old pup are so welcoming and just live the life out in Belmar. We had a huge room, with a basket full of soaps, shampoos, and any thing else you could need and the king size bed was fantastic. He also let us use his two bikes, beach chairs, and umbrella. And then sent us off with tomatoes from his garden. We will definitely be back!Kristy2016-09-11T00:00:00Z
Awesome. I couldn't have asked for a better host and a better spot. Place was cozy and clean, coffee fresh. Tom was really helpful with spots to check out for food, best sunsets, etc. For a single gal traveling alone, Tom couldn't have been more respectful and comfortable. Also, the bikes were a huge plus for getting around. 5 stars for sure.Alyson2017-04-10T00:00:00Z
This was our second Airbnb experience and it couldn't have been better. Tom was quick to answer my emails and questions. He was helpful with advice about everything from the weather forecast to best times to travel and avoid traffic backups. He was very flexible about check in and checkout. He showed us the layout and had a drawer reserved in the fridge for us. We had a large bedroom to ourselves with a memory foam mattress (amazing) central air and a ceiling fan. Tom kept the temp very comfortable in the whole house. He also furnished towels and beach towels. Access to the large screen tv in the living room was offered. We shared the bathroom which was tiled beautifully and equipped with a rain shower head. We used Tom's bikes, beach pass and backpack chair to ride the 1 mile to the beach. We only had to buy one day pass onto the beach. We came and went as we pleased, slept on the beach, ate on the back deck, slept in and had a really relaxing time which is just what we needed. Would love to stay here again. Thanks Tom for a great time!Tacey2016-08-08T00:00:00Z
Tom was a very welcoming host from the moment we arrived. The accommodations were exactly as shown in the pictures and then some. Tom shared his bikes, beach chairs, beach umbrella and beach badge with us and even cooked breakfast in the morning! I highly recommend staying with Tom and definitely would do it again.Eddie2016-07-25T00:00:00Z
This was a very quaint, comfy home. We had a great stay and Tom was a great host!Angel2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

Katie was great and prompt in answering all our questions before and during our stay. we absolutely adored this place, cozy and welcoming.Erica2016-05-31T00:00:00Z
We had a Great time at Katie's house. Everything went real smooth and the house is exactly as described. Real close to some Beautiful beaches. The house was clean and well set up throughout ( I wish the bed was longer (but I am 6 5" so that is a common complaint for me!) but it was very comfortable with ceiling fans and air conditioners in every room. Also the bathroom is large and the shower is Great. Plenty of towels throughout the house and a very cute little back yard with a deck that we really enjoyed..The neighborhood is VERY quiet and nice. I look forward to coming back here. Thank You Katie !!!Matthew2016-07-09T00:00:00Z
The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.Benton2016-05-10T00:00:00Z
Great experience. Easy check-in and checkout. Great location to the beach and all the surrounding towns and everything you need in a small beach houseRobert 2016-07-05T00:00:00Z
Everything about this experience was wonderful! Katie was the perfect host -- she greeted us at the cottage with a warm smile even though we arrived an hour later than planned (due to LOTS of construction along our 14-hour drive); she showed us around, offered suggestions for nearby restaurants and attraction, and was always available if we needed anything. The cottage itself was exactly as described and everything we could have hoped for. Perfect for up to 3 people to sleep on beds and another 3-4 people to sleep on sofa beds in the living room. The atmosphere in the cottage was warm and inviting with a fully equipped eat-in kitchen (including a Keurig), a nice sized living room with comfy seating for 6-8 people, a spacious bathroom with tub/shower combo and lots of HOT water, a washer/dryer, wifi, 2 TV's with tons of viewing options, and -- perhaps best of all -- direct access to a fenced-in back yard with a patio set, fire pit, and BBQ. Perfect if you're bringing your fur baby! (BTW - I should note that Katie left treats and food & water bowls for our dog, and even offered to provide a doggie bed!) As for location, it was super convenient to everything -- beach, river, restaurants shopping, highways, etc. -- but was so quiet and peaceful that it felt like our own private hideaway. As someone who is celiac, I was also thrilled to find several great gluten free eateries nearby, including Cave in Avon-by-the-Sea (8 min.), Meemom's in Wall (5 min.), and Jason's Organic Pizza Café in Point Pleasant (18 min). All were amazing, and Jason's makes the best gluten free pizza I've ever had. (Tip: try mushroom, olive and goat cheese.) In summary, this was my first Airbnb experience, and it was so wonderful that I am going to use Airbnb for all of my future lodging needs.Christine2016-05-22T00:00:00Z
Katie is a very good house owner. The house is neat and clean. Everything is ready for you, even the fire wood. We enjoy the 2 nights stay. Our kids are happy And hope to stay longer.Johnson2016-07-21T00:00:00Z
Katie met us upon our arrival , she was very pleasant and happy to meet us . She had everything you might have forgotten to take with you . There were cooking products, spices ,condiments ,refrigerator items ,and bath items if you were in need.Other amenities were beach chairs ,a cooler ,beach towels and other items for a day of fun. Katie was always available to answer any questions you might have .we really enjoyed our stay ,it was very homey and very comfortable.Lydia2016-07-31T00:00:00Z
Great host, very responsive. Pictures are accurate and met our needs. Belmar is about 10 mins away and the house is situated in a very quiet neighborhood. Only comment is that the living room window does not have any curtains, just a valance. In evening it is very easy to see inside, having blinds or curtains would help with privacy.Ansu2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

The listing was exactly as described. Our host was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. She made it very easy to check in at the time that was most convenient for us. The space was clean, organized and very accommodating. we were able to come and go as we needed without feeling like we were disrupting the normal flow of the household. As a guest, it is important to feel that! I would recommend this to others in need of a quiet, clean place to stay. It was very much worth it especially considering how close it was to everything and everywhere we needed to go.Dana2015-07-13T00:00:00Z
This was our first experience with Airbnb and found it to be really good. The room was great, bed comfortable and the bathroom great! It was always easy to get a hold of Madeline and she was very accommodating. I appreciated the privacy that we were seeking that weekend. The setting is beautiful, quiet and I would love to go in the summer time. We are hoping to go again.Peaches2016-05-10T00:00:00Z
Easy to pick up key and enter the room. Room was just as described. Is a bit of a walk into town but parking was easy (both at house and beach) so bring your car and no problem.Kirsty2015-08-31T00:00:00Z
The house was very close to Belmar and Bradley Beach. We spent the day on the beach. The room was beautifully decorated and very clean. Thanks for a good stay!Lesley & Keith 2015-07-04T00:00:00Z

Madeline's place was beautiful, quiet, scenic, and comfortable! It was exactly as pictured. Madeline is extremely communicative and accommodating. We asked for a late check out and she was completely receptive to it. I also left a scarf behind and Madeline went out of her way to ship it back to me. She's a fantastic host and I would absolutely stay at her place again.Tara2016-11-12T00:00:00Z
Perfectly adequate place if you're just looking for a place to sleep at night--which is what we were looking for. AC could have been a little stronger. Nice to have a separate entrance!Mary2016-08-07T00:00:00Z
Madeline has a lovely home right by the river. I had my perfect getaway from the city. Its easy to walk to the beach from the place. The long walks by the beach are just what I needed. The room was impeccably clean and tidy and private The bathroom is perfect where Madeline provided all the amenities and lots of towels. She is great at communicating and i did not have to bother her for anything for the 2 days I was there. It was an uninterrupted peaceful stay for me.Dharmika2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

Jason is one of the nicest hosts I've ever had using airbnb. He met me in the train station nearby and welcomed me to his home. He went away for the weekend but we still followed up through text messages. The room is very cozy and the house location is very close to both Bradley beach and asbury park. I even got a bycicle to get to these places and the train is 10 minutes walking distance. This host's place is perfect for a few days in that area.Norberto2016-06-14T00:00:00Z
I absolutely loved staying in Jason's house. This was my first Airbnb experience and it was perfect. He was super nice and super helpful! He even gave me directions when needed although I could have looked on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps. He had the cutest and friendliest dog. I stayed for two nights and have zero complaints. I would strongly consider making plans to visit Bradley Beach more often thanks to Jason's warm welcome.Kiera2016-05-02T00:00:00Z

Always a great place to stay. I will be back!Jay2016-09-09T00:00:00Z
We loved Jason and Anthony's place! They were easy to communicate with and their beach bungalow was just that. It really made us feel like we were at the beach. Even though we didn't end up using them, they went out of their way to get us keys so we could use their bikes. Next time! The bikes would have been perfect to get to the beach but we had so much stuff that we ended up driving. It was so easy to find free parking near the beach anyway so it worked out. Great value! We'll definitely stay again.Calley & Daniel2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

Patricia was a great host with great communication. Her home was beautiful, spacious, and in a great location. It's just off the highway, but far enough you won't be hearing any traffic. It's also near plenty of amazing restaurants, the boardwalk, and the beach. For the price, you can't beat this home!Anthony2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

Patricia's place was very nice for the affordable rate. We were there to visit family in a neighboring town so I can't really speak on the town, but the neighborhood was very nice. Patricia made it easy to check-in when we arrived and went out of her way to make sure everything was okay.Emily2017-03-29T00:00:00Z

Patricia made the check in process simple and easy for us too! Highly recommended!Christine2017-04-09T00:00:00Z
This house brings nothing but good vibes! The bar room is the perfect hangout spot, and the Florida room is a great place to sit and enjoy a beautiful day. Although this house appears small from the outside, it's design creates plenty of room. I stay at this house again in a heartbeat!Mark2017-04-02T00:00:00Z
The host was very nice and warm and so is the house. Quiet location despite being close to a major thoroughfare. Enclosed porch is a nice asset.Zoltan2016-09-11T00:00:00Z
Upon arrival and after introductions Pat offered a cold drink (and it was the hottest week at the Jersey Shore I've ever exprience). Her friendly puppy also greeted us and soaked up our attention. The location was convenient to the beach and had easy access to the routes leading us to nearby towns. Pat also gave wonderful tips on places to eat and the locals' secret way to get a seat immediately at Klein's.Robert2016-08-14T00:00:00Z
Patricia our host was so awesome. She made us feel extremely comfortable and provided info on local attractions and good eats for us to choose. It was our 1st BNB.

An oasis half a block from the beach! Quaint and charmingly decorated home is kept spotlessly clean. Being able to use the gourmet kitchen as well as dining and living areas was a big plus. I found the single bed to be too soft so Linda generously upgraded me to the larger bed. The bath and bedrooms are well appointed. It is exactly 1.5 miles to the far end of Asbury's Convention Center along the boardwalk. A delightful run or stroll. Supermarket, deli's, restaurants, post office, library are all within easy access. There are stairs to the front porch and to 2d floor where both bed and bath are.Danyelle2014-10-14T00:00:00Z
Linda was a fabulous host! I've been telling all of my friends about the place and how charming of a stay it was. I love Murphy! You can throw a stone to the beach, she's so close! And honestly everything is a short walk or bike ride away! I would definitely stay there again!Michelle2016-09-19T00:00:00Z
Linda and her husband were great. The location was perfect, less than a block from the ocean. There was a Krups coffee maker for me to use and she even had coffee cake! The best way to wake up in the morning... I would recommend her place.Aj2016-05-31T00:00:00Z
Everything was just as advertised, and it was even closer to the beach than I thought. Linda is a great hostess and I would book here again without hesitation. The neighborhood and area in general are also great. I would highly recommend to anyone looking.John2014-08-25T00:00:00Z
A lovely, quaint, comfortable beach cottage. Linda and Peter were relaxed, accommodating and very friendly. Murphy, their dachshund, was the life of the party. A block from the beach and walking distance to all the restaurants and other commerce on Main St. All the amenities were available, bikes, beach towels & chairs, beach badges, and a wonderful quiche on Sunday morning!Michael2015-07-27T00:00:00Z

Linda's place was awesome, really nice room, very easy to find, super close to the beach. Murphy the dog is adorable :) I recommend walking along the boardwalk down to Asbury.Liam2016-05-02T00:00:00Z
Linda's warmth and generosity turned my business trip into a very pleasant stay. She went out of her way to get me where I needed to go, more than once. The house and bedrooms are beautifully decorated; the front porch is a nice place to relax; and her dachshund is a sweetie. I borrowed the bicycle several times, to explore the lovely neighborhoods and boardwalk, from Linda's home to Asbury Park (just a few minutes' ride away.) It was especially nice that Linda had time to share a glass of wine, a cup of coffee, and a meal with me, and tell me a little about her travels around the world. All in all, a wonderful experience. Thank you, Linda!Renata2014-09-20T00:00:00Z

Anthony's place was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! My boyfriend and I ventured here for an overnight random getaway and we never even ended up going out because we had so much fun in the apartment!!! His electronics set up was UNREAL (I learned to play Zelda!) His apartment was indescribable... it was so cozy, so clean, and he had the most fascinating memorabilia and collectibles it was SO cool. Anthony was also super super responsive... I'm electronically illiterate and was trying to set up the tv and messaged Anthony and he contacted me back within a minute (literally). I highly recommend Anthony's airbnb for any ventures! And it's super close to Asbury Park :) Thank you for the amazing stay Anthony!!! We can't wait to come back :)Jessica2017-02-18T00:00:00Z

Anthony was an excellent host, the space was wonderful, and he provided everything you could need in way of cooking, toiletries, entertainment, coffee and comfort. We met briefly and he gave us a tour and comprehensively covered all of the bases while kindly answering any questions. His place is really immersive, especially if you're into sci-fi culture and gaming - you'll never be bored if you decide to stay in. Everything was super clean and comfortable, and it was a very short drive to the beach.Elijah2016-09-02T00:00:00Z

Anthony was so awesome, communication was on point and very fast. He was super flexible and accommodating even when I asked to push our arrival and departure time back a few times. Anthony provided us with everything we needed towels, bedding, toiletries, an amazing entertainment system, etc. Only downside was the microwave but if you're not going to use it, who cares! Thanks for letting us stay with you Anthony! My girlfriend was ready to come back with her family in a few weekends but the apartment was already booked. Whoever stays here next will love it. Would definitely stay here again, can't beat the location, 10 min drive from Asbury. Would definitely stay here again. Oh yea... and the bed is amazing, you won't want to get up :)Emiliya2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

The house was located close to the beach which was great and convenient. It was a beautiful place with decor that inspired creativity. Simple and elegant with warm lighting to set a calming mood. It can accommodate up to 6 persons easily despite feeling a bit on the smaller side. The bathroom and appliances are new and of high quality. One downside is that there is not a yard or area where you can step outside and still be on the property. Not a big deal just no room to get outside to breathe and relax. Our group was extremely pleased with our stay and lived the place. So much that it convinced us to stay at the same or a similar place every year! The one issue we had with the whole experience was the aftermath in dealing with Katherine. All of us who had stayed at the house were completely level headed, drank no alcohol, and nobody felt ill. But apparently according to Katherine... "your friends threw up on all of the towels." She intially said someone vomited on a pillow case and needed $26 to replace it. The people I stayed with were my best friends for 10 years, and we were together the whole time. Nobody vomited, let alone on ALL of the towels. I'm not sure if there was a mix up between the two rooms available, if it was the laundry already in the wash when we arrived, the towels used to wipe off sand that she was confusing for throw up, or a way to get some more money out of us. All in all the place itself was excellent and a beautiful get-a-way in the beach area. However the experience we had with the host will shy us away from staying here again.Adam2015-08-08T00:00:00Z
Katharine was a great host! Her place looks just like the pictures. It is so nice and cozy. You really feel at home. She's always available to answer your questions and help you out. She answers very quickly and is very helpful. It was a great stay I really enjoyed my first experience with Airbnb!Sarah2016-06-20T00:00:00Z
It was amazing!Sienna2015-08-28T00:00:00Z
Great space, the apartment was up to date with a modern kitchen, nice touch with the wine fridge. It was cozy with everything you would need for a weekend get away including central air. Beach was a 5 minute walk. We had a blast staying here and it was super relaxing!!Ayoola2015-09-03T00:00:00Z
I had a great stay, the home was beautiful very clean and the host was very nice. You can book your stay with confidence that you will be taken care of. I would recommend this home over any other air bnb I have stayed at in at the beach.Joe2016-06-04T00:00:00Z
The location and place was perfect! We walked to the beach and restaurants/bars were around the area. The place is modern and was very comfortable to stay. Katharine has been one of the best host I've had. I use Airbnb a lot and she definitely went beyond. There was a small issue with some of the garbage that was left from the previous tenants. Katharine addressed it right away and organized/put out the garbage. I definitely recommend the place! Great and fun stay!Serena2016-08-08T00:00:00Z
We were excited to get to New Jersey. And just as excited to go to our first AirB&B. The neighborhood looked okay but actually turned out to be full of nice people. When we go back to NJ we will try to go back to this B and BJohn2016-08-13T00:00:00Z
We had a great time staying at Katherine's place. It's less than a ten-minute walk to the beach. The house is clean, comfortable, and convenient. The neighbourhood is quiet. We'd definitely stay there again on our next visit to the Jersey shore.Robert2015-08-21T00:00:00Z

Quiet, clean, great location, and Joanne was very helpful and responsive with all questions, I'll definitely be looking to stay here again on my next trip to the shore!alula2016-10-10T00:00:00Z
Great location a couple blocks away from the beach, shopping, restaurants and Belmar train station.. Room was very clean and had private bath, kitchen and AC units. Joanne was very accommodating and quick to respond to and questions. Would definitely stay here again!Robert2016-09-20T00:00:00Z
My family and I were extremely pleased with our stay. Joanne was very nice and went out of her way to be accommodating. She gave us beach passes before check in so we could enjoy a morning on the beach. She also let us know we could check in early after the cleaning had completed early and had cold drinks ready for us in the fridge when we arrived. The location, residence, and Joanne were all amazing and our family truly had an amazing vacation. We are already planning on going back next year!Jessica2016-06-25T00:00:00Z
Joanne was a great host. Saw us out back grilling, asked if there was anything she could do for us. House was clean, some beach badges on the table was a nice addition. She even had some mints and wine in the fridge for us. Would definitely stay here again.Joe2015-08-09T00:00:00Z
Joanne's home was exactly as she described it quiet and comfortable. Our children enjoyed having a place like home to chill out at especially during our rainy weekend. There were treats in fridge and Joanne was great with communicating check in details and then also letting us know about some rainy day activities to keep us busy. Thank you!Christy2016-10-23T00:00:00Z
I want to thank Joanne for opening the second floor apartment of her house to me and my family. We enjoyed the location and everything was as promised - there was even a nice touch of seltzer, flat water, and soda in the fridge! The beach passes were a huge bonus and she even let us borrow her beach chairs and umbrella. We brought our bikes down and Joanne let us keep them in the garage. As a host, Joanne let us show up at our leisure, met us briefly on the first night, and then gave us space to enjoy our time. When I had questions, she was very quick to respond. The space is nice and clean, but nothing new or flashy. Still, a great value for what you pay. Thanks, Joanne!Philip2016-07-02T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful time staying at this home! Upstairs was clean and comfortable only took me a day to adjust and Joanne left some wonderful treats in the fridge for us. Nicely equipped from linens to dishes. I was in need of a Ziploc bag but did not want to buy a whole box and long and behold there was some in the cabinet. The accessibility to the beach and to town was great, just left my car in front of the house and walked. We even went to Point Pleasant on the train that's in town. Felt quiet comfortable in the town. Not too far in Neptune there is a wonderful ShopRite, superclean and delicious food! Would not hesitate to stay at Joanne's again. Sorry we didn't get to meet her, as my son wanted to thank her for the chocolate candy and sodas!Marsha2016-07-16T00:00:00Z

Linda was so very friendly and provided most comfortable accommodations - even when the weather was snowing and 20 degrees. We would definitely return!Michael2015-02-16T00:00:00Z
This was the best place for our first Airbnb experience. Linda was great and made our stay easy and fun. The house was only a few blocks from great restaurants, beaches, and boardwalk. Our only wish was that we had more time to hear about all the artwork in the house. We will be sure to come back soon.Humberto2016-04-17T00:00:00Z
I adored staying at this cozy, beautiful space! If only all air bnb experiences made me as excited to be staying at as Linda's home did! Great environment, right up my alley, so much so that I was texting friends pictures of how cool it was. And super comfy memory foam beds! I'll be back, for sure!Ben2016-02-22T00:00:00Z
Linda was a wonderful host, even dropping off the keys to me at the Asbury Bazaar where I was working for the weekend! I really appreciated that effort. The room was warm and cozy and the neighborhood was quiet. I slept well after a long day, and I needed it in preparation for the next one! The location is great, it's in walking distance of the beach and downtown.Amy2015-12-01T00:00:00Z
We had a great stay. Linda's house is beautiful and has A LOT of personality. She was very friendly accomodating. I would definitely stay again.Drew2014-04-27T00:00:00Z
Beautiful, charming place in the perfect location from which to explore Asbury Park. It's a cross between an art gallery and a cozy B & B. Creativity in every detail, tastefully done. Thank you, Linda, for helping to make my long-overdue trip to my hometown such a rich experience.Laura 2013-11-08T00:00:00Z
I had such a great time staying at Linda's home. Conveniently located within walking distance of both the beach and downtown Asbury--- it was a perfect place for us. Linda was very kind and welcoming (even though we are both very shy !) And made us feel comfortable and at home very quickly. Her home is so exciting and colorful, I really enjoyed all aspects of her unconventional Victorian home. I was able to enjoy a relaxing bath after a day at the beach. And in the morning after a night out with friends --- Linda had coffee prepared. The highlight of our stay was sitting outside in her beautiful garden. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Truly a memorable stay, we plan on staying with Linda again and cannot stop talking about our lovely mini vacation!Sarah Jane2015-07-25T00:00:00Z
What a wonderful place! Linda's house is beautifully decorated, full of wonder and art. The space where I stayed was comfortable and private; I appreciated that I had my own set of keys for the front door and I separate key to lock my valuables while I was out and about. Linda was very kind and warm, and made sure I knew the history of the area and the highlights of Asbury Park. I would absolutely stay again!meghan2015-04-20T00:00:00Z

We had a great time! The room was perfect for our family (4). Gay was great and informative. Riley was super sweet and so friendly. Cannot wait till our next weekend at Point Pleasant Beach! We'll definitely be back.IVETTE2015-06-14T00:00:00Z
Gayann was an extremely accommodating hostess!! We were extremely comfortable. Having our coffee and reading our books by the pool each morning was simply delightful and the highlight of our day. Thank you Gayann for a fantastic vacation!!Emily2015-08-16T00:00:00Z
Gay was a wonderful host! She was very helpful in giving us recommendations and was thoughtful in thinking of things to do with our children (especially on the one day it rained) Her space was just perfect for us! The rooms were clean and spacious! Perfect for putting the kids to bed and then having a place to hang out. Her home is close to town and the beach. We spent time in Spring Lake and Sea Girt which are a short drive away. We would love to come back! Thank you Gay for a great weekend getaway!Sura2015-06-21T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful stay at Gayann's home. The beach is so close, and it's great to come back and relax at the pool. The surroundings are so welcoming. There's a great restaurant within walking distance which is perfect after a day at the beach. I would highly recommend and definitely plan on going back. Thanks for an enjoyable stay. DeniseDenise 2016-05-30T00:00:00Z
Gayann was responsive to questions prior to our visit and welcomed us upon arrival. We did not hang around the area so not sure how it is. It was a 10 minute drive to Belmar/ Bradley Beach where there are very good restaurants and nightlife.Kate2016-01-17T00:00:00Z
My wife and I were over from the UK for a wedding and stayed at Gayann's place for about 10 days. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed as a base for our time in the area. Gayann and her husband were very friendly and helpful providing us with info on where to go eat etc. and also provided us with beach towels and use of their bikes. The only minor negative i would mention was that the pool was closed for the winter by the time we arrived which was fine but considering it was so warm while we were there it would be have been great if that had been available to use. The place was perfect for what we needed and as long as it's there it will be our base on future trips to that area of New Jersey.Richard2015-09-23T00:00:00Z
Gayann was a great host. She was very welcoming and accommodating. It's was a great location, clean and comfortable!Suzy2016-08-29T00:00:00Z
My boyfriend and I with his 4 year old son in tow stayed at Gay's welcoming home and had a memorable experience. Her place was exactly like the pictures: quaint, clean and cozy. Riley the dog was a pleasure to be around, Koi fish farm was a plus, and her pool was gorgeous where she had a diving board, slide and inflatable chairs. Free beach cruisers and even beach chair too which was awesome! Close to beach, parks and center of town.Karen2015-07-03T00:00:00Z

The world's lightest bicycle with a 10-speed gearbox has gone on sale in the Japanese city of Nagano. The Maruyama Company has designed the two-wheel vehicle weighing 5.8 kilograms. The new bicycle has been named Takumi or "smart". Its small weight is achieved by using high-strength carbon.
The diameter of the wheels is slightly over 50 centimetres. The vehicle is convenient in operation. The bicycle is incredibly small and one can take it on public transport that have a no-bicycle policy. It utilises automotive grade, engineering polymers for its structural components, saddle and handlebars and has a level of stiffness, fatigue and impact resistance comparable with aero-grade aluminum.
It has a highly efficient, two-stage chain transmission that incorporates a high quality freewheel and is totally enclosed to protect clothing from grease. It also has very small pneumatic tyres, which is based on recent valve developments, offer an extremely comfortable ride. The only disadvantage is its price. So far, the Takumi is much more expensive than standard models. The carbon novelty is being sold at around $5,000 (around Rs 2.5 lakh) in retail at the local Nagano market. By comparison, a medium-class two-wheel bicycle costs $200-300 in Japan.

If you write your own code to instantiate objects, you are responsible for disposing of them as well. Every object inherits a Destroy method (called a destructor) from TObject. To destroy an object, however, you should call the Free method (also inherited from TObject), because Free checks for a nil reference before calling Destroy. For example,
destroys the Employee object and deallocates its memory.
What is a difference between free and destroy?

Women Notably Absent At Religions Parliament
Published: September 10, 1993
To the Editor:
I was fascinated (and disheartened) to read about the Parliament of the World's Religions held in Chicago (news article, Aug. 30). Surely, a few women might have attended, if only to put up a good front. And if there were women in attendance, they were certainly in the silent minority, since you didn't mention even one.
Presumably, males dominate and operate most of the religions of the world, while women quietly observe the rules and regulations, perform their tasks, teach the faith to their children, contribute their time, money and lives. Women support the faith as much as men do, but apparently don't deserve an invitation to the ball in Chicago. They are rarely if ever to be counted among the elders, leaders, clergy and hierarchy, where the power lies and where the decision making takes place.
With all due respect to the cardinals, Buddhist monks, Muslim leaders, Orthodox prelates, Hindus, rabbis, swamis -- indeed all the gentlemen present -- they represent barely 50 percent of the constituency. Surely, they must feel uncomfortable in the limelight while the other 50 percent is unseen, unheard and largely forgotten. MARY RODGERS BOTTIGLIERI Ossining, N.Y., Sept. 1, 1993

Victorian state election 2014
The Victorian election will be held on November 29, 2014.
While the main Parties look set to run a 'bread and butter' election – focusing on issues like education, health, infrastructure and the economy, there is also a pressing need to make environmental concerns an issue at this election.
FoE is not aligned with any political party. Its mission is to gain protection for the natural environment, and elections present a great opportunity to promote a policy agenda which will help gain these protections.Read more
Renewables Roadmap
Victoria used to be one of the leaders in Australia when it came to renewable energy and action on climate change.
This has all been lost over the past four years as the Coalition has gutted almost all aspects of the state's climate action plans, including the Climate Change Bill and renewable energy target. They put in place the most restrictive anti-wind laws in the world, bringing the development of this industry to a grinding halt.Read more
Joint statement: Coalition government worst in recent memory on environment
The Baillieu/ Napthine government has the poorest track record on the protection and restoration of the environment of any government since Victoria's peak environment groups were founded in the 1950s.
The state's environment groups, Environment Victoria (founded 1969), The Wilderness Society (founded 1976), Friends of the Earth (founded 1973) and the Victorian National Parks Association (founded 1952) have today said that the past four years of policy under the Napthine and Baillieu Governments represents a wholesale attack on the state's environment.Read more
Great Forest National Park - A playground for Melbourne
Friends of the Earth has joined more than 30 environment, conservation, recreation, scientific and citizen science groups to call on all political parties and candidates in the lead-up to the November 2014 Victorian election to clearly commit to the creation of a new Great Forest National Park in the Central Highlands.
Just 60 kilometres east of Melbourne grow some of the tallest trees on Earth. Their high canopies are home to wildlife such as gliders, owls and the tiny Leadbeater's Possum.
The Great Forest National Park is an idea whose time has come.Read more
Macedon community survey finds strong support for renewables, dumping anti-wind farm laws

The report was launched at the Hepburn Wind, an operating community-owned wind farm in the west of the electorate.Read more

Cost of Natural Disasters Report
A research report released today by environment group Friends of the Earth shows that the financial cost to governments and the community in Victoria from natural disasters was $19.937 billion dollars over a ten year period from 2003 to 2013.
The report Natural Disasters and a Warming Climate; Understanding the Cumulative Financial Impacts on Victoria is a compilation of loss statistics from weather related Victorian disaster events – fires, floods, storms and heatwaves. The figures of $6,762.87 million in public costs and $13,174.2 million in insured costs are based on estimates of loss cost rather than true cost. Disaster cost estimates in Australia are largely drawn from insurance data or insurance data with some augmentation; they are therefore a limited proxy for true costs.Read more

Language is the key to a culture. The Spanish Discipline at Morris provides students with a mastery of the language, but goes beyond to introduce the fascinating history and literature of the Spanish-speaking world.
The broad Spanish curriculum gives students expertise in a second language, an inside understanding of the Spanish-speaking world, and the chance to travel abroad to soak up the cross-cultural experience firsthand.
Among first languages (native speakers), Spanish ranks second both globally and in the United States. When you know Spanish, the number of people you can reach expands dramatically.
In fields like public service, marketing, teaching, and many more, expertise in Spanish and an understanding of Spanish-speaking communities can provide big advantages over competitors, and is a prerequisite for success in some careers.
Spanish has an immensely rich and vital place among world literatures. Authors like Miguel de Cervantes, Jorge Luis Borges, Isabel Allende, and Roberto Bolaño have altered the course of the history of literature, and opened up extraordinary new worlds for readers to explore and enjoy. Diving into these great works in their original language will immerse you in the poetry, rhythms, and spirit of the writing in a way no translation can.
The study of another culture can also be like holding a mirror to our own, as we see ourselves from another point of view. It also creates global citizens who are at ease in a world that is becoming more connected and interdependent all the time. While appreciating each other's differences, we find things that diverse communities share. Such knowledge and familiarities help to break down barriers between people and nations, and foster relationships that allow us to address global challenges together.
The distinguished faculty members of the Spanish Discipline have been recognized for the quality of their teaching and research. They have lived, traveled, and taught in many areas of the Spanish-speaking world, and have a deep commitment to promoting opportunities for scholarship and achievement for their students.

Colleges Expand Online Presence
Today, even colleges are using the power of search and social media in an attempt to woo prospective students. Many colleges, which traditionally relied solely on campus visits and in-person information sessions, are now expanding their online presence in an attempt to reach out to more students. The admissions departments of many colleges can now be liked on Facebook and followed on Twitter. Other online techniques like blogs, virtual information sessions, and online "campus tours" are becoming increasingly common. The goal is to allow all students, even those who are international or may not be able to physically visit a campus, to gain a better understanding of a school's environment.Read More
New York City Buildings Go Green
The Big Apple is raising the bar on environmental standards, as a growing number of businesses make conscious efforts to go green. As new buildings are developed, construction workers and business owners can work together to ensure buildings are LEED certified. However, even among existing buildings, owners are working with contractors to change existing measures and become LEED certified as well. The Empire State Building is one such project, headed by Anthony Malkin. Two years ago, the building went through a $20 million renovation, which reduced energy usage by over 35 percent, and saved roughly $4.4 million per year. Now more than ever, building owners are able to see going green as a business imperative—something that can provide a competitive advantage that helps the company's bottom line and is socially responsible as well.Read More

We succeed or fail together. And at Dell, a supportive environment rich with tools accelerates innovation, and that starts with the engineering internship program.
Presenting the Best
When Kanrong Yu (above), a Master's student majoring in data science, found out she would be presenting her visualization model about the prediction of product error rates to the vice president of her division, she was excited for the challenge.
Her manager asked if she was comfortable presenting, offering to help her with some practice runs. When word of her presentation spread, colleagues who weren't even involved with her project sat in on her practice presentations to offer tips and suggestions.
"They gave advice on how I could better present my ideas. They asked questions to challenge me," Yu said. "Everything they did helped me better prepare to be more confident during the presentation."
In addition to presenting her research to the vice president, Yu also worked on natural language processing, a very cutting-edge text analyzing technique to help analyze consumer problem summaries. The analysis enables Dell's development teams to better modify products.
From Software to Systems
Britney Pierce enjoyed her second internship with Dell in summer 2016.
"I had the same manager this year as last year and I really enjoyed his leadership and the team that I worked on," Pierce said. "Returning for the second time, my manager actually gave me an opportunity to work as a systems engineer instead of a software engineer, even though I'm majoring in software engineering."
She was grateful that her managers enabled her to explore an area of engineering outside her academic studies, gaining valuable industry experience.
Experience Guides Career Path
Derek Nalodka, an industrial engineering major, was hired on the IT team.
"I was pretty unsure of the work I'd be doing because I don't come from an IT background," he said. "But, my project aligns very well with my background and through this experience I've learned that I love working with people, I'm a strong communicator, and it's pushed me into the direction of trying to eventually become a project manager."
Nalodka really appreciated how responsive his coworkers were, remarking he'd typically get responses to emails within the hour.
"It's extremely impressive given Dell's size, to be continually pushing forward at the speed they do and to be constantly getting work done and moving on to the next thing," he said. "I think Dell's culture stands alone, it should be something that other companies want to model."
Dell salutes all our engineers as we celebrate Engineers Week February 19-25. We're accepting applications for our 2017 internship program now.

About Pudong International Airport (PVG)
Dining and nightlife are limited near Pudong International Airport (PVG), although there are a few seafood restaurants serving fish, crab and squid in locations like Baiyulan and Sanjiagang. Accommodation options such as the Ramada feature restaurants with international favourites on their menus. Hotel lounge bars are also the best choices for a drink in the evening. This is not really an issue as Shanghai Metro Line 2 and Maglev offer convenience when travelling to central Shanghai.Shopping
Similarly, shopping opportunities are not great in the area of Pudong District around the airport. Apart from a few shops in the local vicinity, shopping for travellers using Pudong International Airport (PVG) is in the facility's terminals or in downtown locations such as Nanjing Road. In the airport's terminals, shops selling gifts, designer clothes and accessories, electrical items and duty-free products are in the departures zones.


text: Over the last couple of years I have noticed journalists coming on to this site fishing for controversial stories or views, most of whom (but not all) doing so without first stating their intentions for fear of abuse from regular ARRSEers. This has now come to the point where most people with genuine questions or problems are instantly labelled as 'Journos' and treated with similar contempt, regardless of how sensitive the issue may be. I fully appreciate that ARRSE is an anonymous site, and I enjoy being able to gob off as much as the next man. My only gripe is that most times it's hard to tell who I'm gobbing off to, or who's mouthing off at me. My suggestion is this: All ARRSE members register their details with the site, who then place a symbol next to the individual's avatar which annotates whether they're Regulars, Territorial Army, Royal Air Force, Navy, Journalist, Student, Cadet, Civilian or Civil Servant. Would you all welcome the change, or would this be too intrusive?

PART VII in a Series: Shrill attacks from leftist public education establishment ignores failures of public education
By Bill Ames
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – The U. S. Senate's recent confirmation of President Trump's nominee to head the U.S. Department of Education, Betsy DeVos (right,) is a huge first step in the beginning of education reform in Texas.
A second step will be the passage of Texas legislation that provides financial assistance to families who choose to select the school of their choice for their children's education.
These revolutionary events occur in spite of shrill opposition from leftist public school administrators, local school boards, combative teachers' union leaders, school district apologists, and the taxpayer-funded lobbying organizations: the Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA), and the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB).
All support the status quo of public education's stranglehold monopoly over America's families. What these militant organizations ignore, however, is the declining performance of public schools – both in Texas and across America.
Let's have a look at the nationwide dilemma of public schools.
In his February 7, 2017 article in Vox.com, author (The Dumbest Generation, The Digital Divide, The State of the American Mind) and education expert Mark Bauerline writes:
"Since 2005, SAT reading scores have dropped by 14 points. A writing component was added to the SAT in 2006, and scores have dropped every year since then except for two years when they were flat. Math scores for 2015 were the lowest in 20 years. The expanding pool of test takers, a common explanation for the slide, doesn't fully account for it.
"On the ACT's measure of "college readiness" in math, English, reading, and science, slightly more than one-third of test takers met the benchmarks in three subjects, while another one-third did not meet any(!) of the benchmarks. That means that one-third of high school seniors who aim to go to college are unlikely to earn a B in any of those subjects.
"According to the (the "Nation's Report Card," administered by the Education Department's National Center for Educational Statistics), only one-quarter of 12th-graders are proficient in civics, one-fifth in geography, just over one-third (37 percent) in reading, one-fifth (22 percent) in National Assessment of Educational Progress exams science, and one-eighth (12 percent) in US history. Only one-quarter of them reach proficiency in math."
Author Buerlein's presentation of national-level student performance data reveals a disturbing, declining trend in student academic performance across America.
What about Texas?
On January 30, 2017, the aforementioned TASB organization published on its website:
Statement from the Texas Association of School Boards on Education Savings Accounts, Vouchers
The Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) believes education savings accounts and similar voucher schemes that divert public monies to private institutions with no accountability to taxpayers is the wrong choice for Texas.
In a policy environment with increasing school accountability, it is preposterous that the State of Texas would place thousands of public tax dollars on a debit card with little to no accountability.
Local property taxes are paid by home and business owners for the creation of a constitutionally mandated system of free public schools in Texas. Siphoning those tax dollars away from local public school students and decreasing the transparency and accountability of those tax dollars is not consistent with the fiscally responsible nature of Texans.
Vouchers—regardless of what names they may be given—are a betrayal of trust. Texans believe that their tax dollars are going to support public school students. The state should never redirect those tax dollars to private schools or other unaccountable institutions.
Vouchers are a disingenuous way to take money from the 5.3 million students who attend public schools. Tax dollars collected for public education should be used to fund public education. It's a sacred trust.
Voucher plans will ultimately create a new entitlement program that will cost Texans dearly.
The TASB position might be credible if Texas public schools performed at a high level of excellence. Unfortunately, they do not.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) maintains a list of low-performing Texas public school campuses. Students trapped in those campuses qualify for Public Education Grants (PEGs). A low-performing school campus qualifies for the 2016-2017 PEG list if it meets the following criteria:
Less than 50% of students have passed one or more STAAR/TAKS tests in any two of the preceding three years
The campus was rated "Improvement Required" in 2013, 2014, or 2015.
Parents with children in a PEG school can request transfer to another school.
- 1,532 Texas public school campuses are on the 2016-2017 PEG list. This represents a significant 28% increase over the 1,199 campuses on the 2015-2016 PEG list.
- Given that there are 8,685 public school campuses in Texas, 17.6% (nearly 1 in 6) of all campuses are on the PEG list.
- And given that Texas has 5.3 million public school students, some 900,000 are trapped in low-performing PEG schools. 900,000 students!
This reality hardly justifies TASB's contention that vouchers are a "betrayal", and that public education in Texas is a "sacred trust". Rather, the number of campuses on the PEG list is "betrayal" of community expectations by the education establishment, and a violation of Texans "sacred trust".
I live within the boundaries of Richardson ISD (RISD). How does my local school district stack up?
As a key item on its list of 2017 Legislative Priorities, the RISD board of trustees demanded that the legislature:
"Oppose any legislation/program* that diverts public tax dollars away from public schools. (*vouchers, education savings plans, tax credits, tuition reimbursements, etc.)"
Does RISD's student academic performance warrant such self-righteous protection of its monopoly? Hardly.
RISD has no less that five campuses on the 2016-2017 PEG list: Carolyn Bukhair Elementary, Forest Lane Academy, RISD Academy, Skyview Elementary, and Thurgood Marshall Elementary. These five campuses have a combined enrollment of over 3,700 students.
Five PEG campuses, up from two the previous year. And three of the five current PEG campuses are classified as "Improvement Required".
Further, in January 2010, RISD adopted the TASA "vision" that de-emphasizes academic knowledge in favor of modifying student behaviors and attitudes.
The resulting collapse of student academic performance at RISD would have been an embarrassment, if the bad news had not been withheld from the community. The district's state academic ranking by the schooldigger.com rating organization, unreported by the district, has been in free fall, from #110 in Texas in 2008-2009, to #413 in 2014-2015 (see chart).
RISD 3rd through 8th graders barely read at the Texas state average.
Summarizing, whether we review student academic performance in public education at the national, state, or local level, the story is the same. Education in America screams for reform.
There is an urgent need to provide our youth with an education that prepares them for success. An arrogant, narcissistic education establishment has fallen far short. The introduction of free market competition, giving families educational choice, will be a refreshing alternative.

Ah-mazing! Food was great, service was outstanding. I don't understand why it was not more busy. Only about 4 tables of people. Come on you ate all missing out.
My son and I had two excellent entrees -- seafood fra diavolo and seafood mariscada alonf with portugese soup, side orders of portugese fries and grilled asparagus. Portions were abundant; quality was excellent and serivce was terrific. I would highly recommend this to any of my friends.
This restaurant is in a community in East Cambridge. It's not trendy, but it has the distinct feel of a family restaurant. This is our 2nd time here and the food is still wonderful. We had 2 appetizers and 1 main course. We had whole clams in an incredibly wonderful, light sauce and delicately fried calamari. The clams blew us...
This place hit the mark for me. Went here with about 12 friends and we all were amazed at the great food! The appetizers were to die for the entrees were all perfectly prepared and everything was brought out at one time with no delays as you usually get with bigger groups. Wish it were closer to Tucson but it...
We came here for lunch last Friday. My initial impression of the place was confusion as there was no one in the dining room, neither customers nor employees. After waiting for a bit and calling out several times with no response, we headed deeper into the restaurant to the kitchen to catch the attention of the waitstaff. Afterwards, things proceeded...
We Came with a 50% off coupon. really bad. Vegetables in salad were old. Tomatoes were a strange pink color, but somehow every supermarket in town still has good tomatoes. Calamari way too much batter and clearly frozen. Thought it would be fine as casa portugal up the road is good. Just go there instead...
Food is delicious and it is very cheap! Service could be homogeneous because not every staff is great, but I have been there many times and many of them are great. It is simple and not very fancy on decoration,but really good and cheap food.
The food is very good, authentic Portuguese. We were a large party..we ordered many appetizers, seafood dishes, cod fish appetizers, delicious bread, olives, peppers, pastels, etc. every dish was delicious...The servers were attentive and we drank many bottles of Portuguese wine. It was the perfect end to a very nice day with old friends in Boston/Cambridge.
We have been going to the Sunset Cafe for many years and have always found the Portuguese cuisine to the best in the the neighborhood. A very extensive menu coupled with an attractive dining room. It is so surprising that it is not busier than it should be. but that is not an indication of the food quality which is...
Even though there was a large wedding reception going on that took over half of the restaurant and a lot of the servers attention, the small lack of attention was more than made up for by delicious food and the great value. The seafood platter was generous with large sea scallops and some of the most delicious white fish I've...

Tesla's Inherent Safety Saves Five Joyriding Teenagers In Germany (arstechnica.com) 240
According to German newspaper Merkur, one 18-year old and four of her friends lost control of her father's Model S electric vehicle. The car reportedly flew more than 80 feet into a field before it came to a stop. Even though the driver and two of the passengers were airlifted to hospitals, none of their injuries were life-threatening, thanks largely in part to Tesla's skateboard chassis. Ars Technica writes, "The skateboard chassis used by the Model S and Model X is extremely safe, with crumple zones that are unconcerned with engines that can transfer kinetic energy into the passengers during a frontal collision." The images of the crash are not pretty, but one could imagine how much worse they would be if a front-engined internal combustion vehicle were involved instead of the Tesla Model S.
