This is a handsome private room that opens onto a splendid common area. The bathroom is shared, and can be a bit busy in the morning, but Alana generously offered me use of the kitchen fridge, and the access to the rooftop is splendid. There are a few bars and promising restaurants, and a good grocery store, in the immediate area, and the heart of hipster Williamsburg is about a 10-minute walk north. I would also recommend walking the Williamsburg Bridge: at sunset, it offers some great views!
