Valentina, her sister, and her mom were all wonderful. They did everything they could to make my stay a pleasant one.
When the AC broke, Valentina quickly ordered a fan to be delivered within a day. When the package with fan was stolen, she bought another. She really was considerate and cared about my comfort.
The apartment, conveniently close to Coney Island hospital, was pretty quiet (I am sensitive to noise and was very happy about this.). On the fire escape the birds (mostly pigeons) greeted me every day. The view from Valentina's is of the green space between two buildings. For this country woman, it felt like a little piece of nature and made me feel more "at home".
Although there is an elevator in the building, if you are looking for wheelchair accessibility, this is not your place (unless I missed a secret passage ramp in the basement which leads to the elevator, there are some pretty steep stairs to get to the 1st floor where the entry door is.)
Thank you Valentina for an excellent 9-night stay!
