Judy was a very nice and pleasant host. She was super generous with the check-in and check-out times. The place was spacious and had all the necessary amenities. Looks exactly as depicted. Oh and very comfy bed! She was also kind enough to put up full-body mirrors at mx request. I really appreciated that.
The neighborhood was nice and felt safe. Also many stores, banks, pharmacies etc right around the corner. The subway station and bus stops are a few minutes away and take you straight to the hot spots in Manhattan and Brooklyn (Time Square, Wall Street, Downtown Brooklyn etc).
Cons: The location is far from Manhattan. I didn’t mind commuting in the morning. However after spending a whole day sightseeing, a 40 min ride back can feel like a lifetime. Plus the train doesn’t run on weekends. You‘ll have to get on a shuttle bus and then proceed to take the train to Manhattan. But that’s the price for being closer to Coney Island. Subways are safe tho!
Another con are the thin walls and slightly loose doors in the house. You hear everything going on in the room next door and upstairs. I also wasn’t able to lock the door to my room. But I had all my valuables with me, so it was ok. The room itself was pretty neat but the shower wasn’t cleaned properly. I had to remove some hair strands from the drainage. Other than that I had no complaints. Again, Judy is very nice and that alone is a huge plus.
