Enjoyed my stay at Ed's very much. Great host and very easy to communicate with. The apartment is an excellent size for 1-2 people, with plenty of space to sleep, lounge, cook, work. I never ever felt claustrophobic and enjoyed being at the place most of the day. In fact, if I didn't have to step out I would have no issues being at the house!
The location is excellent and can't beat it. The area is under development and can be a little sketchy admittedly but it's still an excellent location. The beach is 5 minutes or less walking, pretty much around the corner. You got the Coney Island station which has 4 trains that will get you into Manhatten, Bronx and Queens very conveniently.
Plenty of places to buy food and other necessaties.
The value you get is spot on and I would recommend highly!
