We stayed at Mat’s apartment for four nights during our stay in New York. Having stayed in Manhattan on previous visits we wanted to stay somewhere different this time and had heard great things about Williamsburg. Mat’s apartment is only a few minutes walk from Graham Av. Metro station on the L line - which was great for both travelling into Manhattan and Brooklyn. Lots of bars and restaurants a few mins walk away from the apartment, and around 15/20 mins walk to the main part of Williamsburg. We loved getting bagels at The Bagel Store. The apartment is exactly as pictured. Very spacious with everything you need. Great bathroom too. As some other previous reviews have mentioned, the apartment is street level and the bedroom area is at the front of the apartment. There is occasional street noise, music from passing cars etc. during the night that may bother you if you are a light sleeper. Was not a problem for us though. The keyless lock (keypad) was really useful too as we arrived quite late in the evening. Mat and his family live above (same front door then two internal front doors), he was friendly and informative via messages but we didn’t actually meet Mat. Would definitely recommend Mat’s apartment for any trip to New York/Williamsburg.
