It is almost indescribable how heartwarmingly welcome you will feel at Shula's place. I was here with two of my friends and we wouldn't think twice about coming back.
She provides breakfast every morning and pays attention to any kind of special diet you might have. The morning talks with Shula and her husband inspired us to get the day started.
It's a very safe and calm area. 8-10min walk to the Q train or the 2 which run 24/7 to Manhattan. Pretty close to Coney Island as well.
The private room is in the basement and we recommend you go out often because light is scarce down there. However it feels more like a private apartment. You have a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a private entrance. All the room and privacy that you would want.
Shula is open to help you, answer your questions and give you advice about the city.
I couldn't recommend her place enough!
