Had a great week in Shasta's place, and would recommend it to anyone looking to explore Manhattan and Williamsburg.
The location is in a very lively neighborhood with plenty restaurants and bars, and even though it would be hard to call the place quiet, the street is not too busy to prevent a good night's sleep with earplugs.
Especially liked the different options for morning runs. One can do three bridges (Williamsburg, Manhattan, Brooklyn), or a nice park (John V Lindsay East River). Central Park is a bit further away, buy still definitely reachable during a run.
The apartment is clean and comfortable for a couple or a small family, with decent Internet connection.
