Excellent, rare find of a unit perfect for any vacationer or business traveler who wants to experience New York City, Coney Island, and the beach -- all at the same time. This listing feels like a home away from home or an office away from the office, depending on the purpose of your trip.
Everything is in great order. When you walk in, you are greeted by bright, open space with plentiful natural light in a living room/office with a million-dollar view of Manhattan rising over the Brooklyn skyline. Each bedroom is clean and cozy, capable of sleeping either one or two comfortably depending on the size of your party. The building is safe and well-secured, the neighbors are respectful and quiet, and the neighborhood is easily and safely walkable with convenient access to Metro in both Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay.
Around the neighborhood you will find more great non-chain restaurants than you will have time to eat at and all the fun of the Coney Island Boardwalk and Luna Park in safe, easy walking distance. Staying here, you are a short walk away from a sunset dinner overlooking the ocean, an afternoon at the New York Aquarium, or a ride on the world-famous Cyclone.
For business travelers, the work area is like an office away from the office with a view of the Manhattan skyline, plenty of space to unpack and get work done, as well as the peace and quiet to work uninterrupted. A reliable hard line Ethernet connection can be found five feet away for those who need rock-solid Internet. You won't have to stop working to find a laundromat -- the in-unit washer and dryer both work very well and are gentle on professional clothes.
The central air conditioning is in great shape, but there are many days you will not need it because the unit has an excellent cross breeze with the windows open. I ran the A/C for less than half of my end-August trip because the refreshing ocean breeze blew through my unit. If you want to cut down your electricity usage or just feel the breeze, this listing's design is perfect.
Did I mention it has not one, but two great balconies?
Best of all though is the hospitality. My hosts went out of their way to answer questions before I booked, and after checkout, they promptly called to let me know I had forgot my shirts in a closet. They went out of their way and made it very easy to fix my own oops in a way most people don't.
Do yourself a favor and book this one quickly before it sells out.
