So glad we managed to stay at Andrij's house! The house was so lovely, full of beautiful books and period character plus all the modern amenities (we especially appreciated the A/C).
The area is perfect for families - 10 minute walk to several fantastic playgrounds, bars with gardens/bocce courts, and tasty restaurants - and a relatively short hop to Coney Island or Rockaway Park for some beach time.
Catí in particular was amazingly warm, welcoming and helpful, and went way beyond what we've ever experienced from a cleaner. We would have taken her home with us if we could!
The beautiful old floorboards are very creaky, so would recommend using white noise if you are trying to get a baby to sleep.
Highly recommended and would love to stay here again.
