Rochette is a really lovely lady and was a wonderful hostess - made us feel very much at home. She and her son were present during our stay, but our room and bathroom were nice and private a only heard a bit of TV on in the living room. She answered questions in advance of our stay - we brought bikes (there is a bike rack in the garage that we were able to use) - and helped us find our way to the train station (5 min walk) to get to the concert pavilion in Coney Island. We also walked there - about 40 minutes.

She let us put a few things in her fridge, which was really great, and showed us around her nicely decorated place and the secure and quiet building. We were a bit apprehensive about finding parking based on locating the building on Google earth. But we came and left several times and each time found on-street parking right in front of the building!

NOTE: you need to bring your own bath towels to this listing, which wasn't a problem for us since we drove, but we didn't see that on the "house rules" page until just before we left for vacation.
