My husband and I spent the most wonderful eight nights in Lane's fantastic apartment. We were originally a bit reserved about staying outside of Manhattan but we were proved completely wrong in our apprehension. We were concerned about having to travel in to the tourists areas but it was an easy 5 min walk to the L-line which had you in the centre in minutes. Williamsburg offers a fabulous taste of life in the big city without putting up with the disadvantages of the busy tourist drag. We loved getting a taste of local life. There were too many amazing bars and diners to choose from and like Lane correctly pointed out you could eat somewhere different every time for a year and still not visit the same place twice. Our particular favourites were 5Leaves for dinner, Jimmy's Diner for grits breakfast, Sweet Chick and Crif Dogs were also memorable for American nosh.
We couldn't commend Lane's apartment highly enough. Spotlessly clean, quiet, safe, comfortable and well equipped. Lane was the perfect host providing wine, soft drinks and bagels. He was always very prompt in responding to any queries, a really pleasant chap!!
The perfect base for exploring New York. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip!!
