Faigie and her family are great hosts and sweet people that make you feel very comfortable. They went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. The 2 beds are twin size so they provided a blow-up mattress to accommodate our 3rd person. Since the pictures showed a kitchenette, I expected there would be pots, pans, plates and utensils, but there was only coffee and tea items available and the stove wasn't hooked up. However, when I told them we were planning on cooking Faigie provided a hot plate and all the items we needed to cook. There were clean towels and linens, as well as essential toiletries. There is also a TV in the room to relax after a long day of sightseeing. There is a separate entrance to the basement and a private bathroom from the rest of the house so privacy is not an issue. The basement area is older and could use some updating, but it served our needs for sleeping purposes. She said they will be painting and doing some work on it soon. You can hear the footsteps and people moving around in the dining room upstairs, but it sounds like an active happy family so it makes you feel like you're at home. The place is conveniently located within 2 blocks of the subway and is very close to Coney Island. It was overall a pleasant and lovely experience, and a pleasure being their guests.
