True Loft Life in Williamsburg.
If you are looking for a funky and authentic pad in Williamsburg, Valentino's place is great. Located just steps from Bedford ave with all the shops, bars, and great food options you want. Just a few blocks to Marcy ave subway station and the J, Z, or M lines that will put you into Manhattan in minutes. (Bit of a hike - but ok - to the Bedford L line). There's also a bus transit exchange nearby that, for those who want, will hook you up for easy access to Dumbo, Redhook, and other locales in Brooklyn.
Despite being a busy street, this stretch of Broadway is quiet at night, and the neighbourhood itself, apart from the commercial strip, is generally residential. Lots of free parking too.
This is a good spot for families or two couples, with semi-private rooms and great common area and kitchen - all the conveniences!
