Location is PERFECT if you're looking to spend most of your time at the Boardwalk or parks on Coney Island. A few blocks from the subway too. Lots of options for food close by. Be warned if you're not familiar with nyc transit...if you're looking to spend a lot of time in Manhattan proper, it's a lengthy subway ride. There is no AC but there are windows on two walls and it stays pretty breezy so it isn't bad. My one gripe is that we couldn't get the ceiling fans to turn on without the lights also being turned on, but that could very well be operator error. My train into the city got delayed multiple times and Ed was super understanding and helpful.
