Host: Ed and his wife are excellent host. They are wonderful at communicating with you and if you need anything they'll respond promptly. Very warm and welcoming host.
Location: The location is excellent if you're looking to be in the Coney Island area. The beach is no more than 5 minutes away walking distance and all the amusements and events are literally around the corner. If you're here during the Luna Park season and during the summer, you won't run out of being amused. Everyone is out and there's no shortage of entertainment. The D,N, F and Q trains are only a short 5 minute walk from the apartment.
Apartment: I've had the pleasure of being hosted by Ed and his wife and this was my 3rd stay with them. The apartment is very vibrant, warm, artsy, clean and has a great view of the beach and of Luna Park. Very spacious, plenty of light, AC and there's more than enough amenities here for your stay.
One thing I would note: If you're here during the Luna Park season, just be aware that it will be VERY LOUD from around noon through the evening and every Friday night will be a fireworks display. So keep that in mind. Weekdays and inclement weather things aren't nearly as loud but Friday, Saturday and Sunday (if the weather isn't ugly) expect it to be pumping. The windows and the AC do a good job of blocking the noise. Again, just keep that in mind and expect things to die down after 11PM. Of course, this does NOT reflect on Ed and his wife, totally something out of their control but keep this in mind if you choose to stay during the Luna Park season.
Otherwise, I highly recommend this apartment. The space, the location, the convenience, the hospitality can't be beat!
