I had a very good stay here at Ed's place in Coney Island.
Location: Really convenient location. Only about 2 blocks from the Coney Island beach, Luna Park, Boardwalk, Cyclone Stadium and all the other attractions. About 5 minutes walk from the D,F,Q, N trains, all which will take you to various places throughout Brooklyn and other attractions. And of course, into Manhattan and the other boroughs.
Apartment: The apartment is very clean, roomy and Ed really accomodates and hooks you up. The kitchen has many utensils and kitchenware. I was pleasantly surprised! Lots of plates, cups, glasses, forks, spoons, pots, pans, a grill! And a few more.
The bathroom has a lot of towels for use.
If you want to go to the beach, there's beach chairs and a small cooler! RIGHT ON!
The main sofa is very comfy, with a big screen TV for whatever your needs may be.
The room is really comfortable with two windows and great lighting. The therapeutic bed in the main room gave me the best night's rest I've had in a long time!
Neighborhood: I'll be honest here, it's interesting. It's a developing neighborhood within a very popular and touristy area. I lived in Coney Island for a bit as a kid and it was rough. And there's still rough parts abound. On the same token, you have so much going on, so much culture and many different types of activities and people meshing together.
Overall: If you want to be in the Coney Island area or if you want to stay in Brooklyn and don't mind being a little further into Brooklyn, this place is perfect! You can't beat it. Highly recommend it.
