My wife and I stayed at Willie’s for 10 days and it was absolutely great. You can either walk to the Rosedale station 10-15 min walk depending on your pace) or walk around the corner to the bus which takes you right to the station as well.
The store at the end of the street is very convenient as well. It was awesome basically having a studio apartment of your own to stay in. My only complaint (no fault of willie’s) is where you’re located you have to use the Long Island Rail Road which is separate from the MTA, which I didn’t know previously, I wrongly assumed everything ran on the same system.
Either way make sure you get the Atlantic Ticket I believe it’s called, gets you unlimited rides with the LIRR and a 7 day (I believe ) unlimited MTA Pass to the Atlantic Terminal in Brooklyn and then you’re good, it’s the cheapest option, otherwise you have to pay separate for the MTA and LIRR, of course I realized this too late -_-.
But the stay was awesome, Willie always responded quickly, even did my solid with quickly getting things ready so I could check in a little early. The Rosedale area is dope too, I’m from Florida so houses with yards kinda made me feel at home.
