We enjoyed a wonderful three weeks, at Ed and Isabel’s apartment in Coney Island.
This is a very convenient place to stay. We took regular walks along the boardwalk played in the ocean with our young grandchildren who were easily able to walk the 3 blocks from the apartment.
This apartment has a great view (as you can see from the photos… the parachute jump offers a fun light show every night).
As others have commented, “Mermaid Avenue from the apartment to the Stilwell subway stop is a busy and diverse strip––you are going to experience life as it is lived on the street in Coney Island.” The multi-immigrant community of Brighton Beach is an easy walk to the east. There you can explore Russian and Ukrainian and other former Soviet Union foods.
We’d seriously consider going back for another vacation.
