I am no stranger to New York City, or Brooklyn. Or Williamsburg, for that matter. My family and I have a decades-long history as New York City apartment dwellers -- my father grew up in Williamsburg during the 1920s-1930s, I lived in New York City for my first twenty years, and my wife and I currently own an apartment in another Brooklyn neighborhood -- so when I report that Susan’s perfectly located, spacious, light-filled, well-appointed, well-equipped, and comfortable Williamsburg loft is everything it claims to be, well, trust me, it’s all those things and more. The apartment is a mere 1/2-block from Bedford Avenue, the epicenter of the vibrant Williamsburg shopping and food scene: boutiques, specialty stores (food, wine, vinyl records, books, etc), not to mention a multi-level Whole Foods and an Apple Store just blocks away. It is a quick 2-1/2 block walk from the apartment to the subway where the regularly running L train is just one stop from downtown Manhattan. The rainy weather that prevented me from enjoying the outdoor space at least left me with something to look forward to during a return visit. I also look forward to meeting Susan when I return. Although she and and her husband were out of town during my stay, Susan was always available by email and/or messaging. Thank you again, Susan, for the opportunity to spend two nights at your Brooklyn oasis.
