Linda and her family were super welcoming. Her husband greeted me at the door, helped me bring in my luggage, and offered me water/Red Bull. Linda was super communicative her children made me welcome cards (super adorable).
The place itself is very clean and you pretty much get a whole room and bathroom to yourself. The area also has a ton of food places and markets in case you get hungry. You’ll also be 2 min walking distance from the N which can get you to Coney Island.
While I mostly enjoyed my stay, I had 2 issues. The first issue is the fact that the building is in front of a busy intersection which is LOUD. I’m from LA and live on a main street and even I had a bit of trouble sleeping on day 1. If you’re a light sleeper, beware. The second issue (not as major) was the bed. It’s just not that comfortable so if you have back issues please be careful.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay at Linda’s but as a sensitive sleeper I probably would not stay here again. If that does not bother you, Linda’s place is a great choice.
