We stayed at Renée's apartment for 4 nights in Feb 2013 and she was a great host from beginning to end. The apartment was clean and extremely equipped for our needs. The location is good and easy enough to get to manhattan or trendy Williamsburg and cabs back were about 10 dollars of an evening from Williamsburg or 20 from Manhattan as the subway can take a while. The neighbourhood is interesting and we felt we had an authentic New York experience staying at Renée's apartment. All in all a very good place to stay considering the price.
