If you want to get the real Coney Island experience, this is the place to stay. When you step out of the door, you are amongst the locals. Ten steps to the left and around the corner is a post card view of the Parachute Jump, which is steps from the famous board walk. All of Coney Island's famous icons are walking distance, as well as public transportation.
Mr. Cosme and his wife were the best hosts! They are community members and share their wealth of knowledge of places to go and things to do. I felt safe, traveling as a single woman, because they were "a tex" or call away for anything.
I was there on business for a month, but will make an effort to return for vacation and highly recommend to anyone. Thank you!
