Barbara’s place is very homey. The room is exactly how it’s pictured, with a nice soft bed, a small fridge, and a closet. When we checked in, there were soft drinks and water waiting for us which was a very nice compliment. And every morning there was coffee and fresh pastry for breakfast. Barbara herself is a very nice host, very helpful and very kind. It is super close, literally a 1 minute walk, to the subway that can take you either to Coney Island beach or to the center of Manhattan. A park is a walking distance away as well as many different places to eat. There is also a couple of supermarkets around. The only thing that I would note is that if you’re a light sleeper, it might be a bit loud at night for you, but we didn’t have any problems with that. Would definitely recommend! Excellent price for such a nice place!
