Ed and his wife is a great host. They are friendly and very helpful. They helped us move into the apartment even though we had a lot of luggage. Ed communicates frequently to check in with guests and also responds to question very promptly. A bonus for Ed's listing is availability of parking for a small fee, especially for guests from out of town; the car is safely parked for the night and no struggles to find street parking. Finally, Ed's place reflects what's described on the listing. Less than a block away, there's Coney Island Amusement Park and lots of restaurants + a board walk for those who like morning walks. Overall, we had an excellent stay and I would recommend Ed's place with no reservation.
