Anthony’s hospitality was out of this world! Travelling all the way from NZ by myself I did a lot of research to find AirBnB hosts who seemed reliable and responsive, and Anthony went above and beyond!
The apartment itself has all the necessities you need, with a lovely cosy homely feel that Anthony has created. I felt like I had a home away from home! The middle room I stayed in has no natural light which makes it great if you want to sleep off your jet-lag without being disturbed :)
The area itself I fell in love with. Less than a 5 minute walk to the L train which can take you pretty much anywhere in Manhattan means that even staying out in East Williamsburg I was never more than 20-30 minutes away from exploring the entirety of New York City.
There is a laundromat right on the corner to do washing (Americans don’t really have washing ammenities inside their houses!) and some great local bars and cafes in the area. I would highly recommend Champs diner which is open very early to very late and only 200m from the apartment... as such I ate there at least 6 times in one week! 🙈
The area itself seemed a little quieter at night and when I first arrived I was a little apprehensive, but during my stay (as a young woman walking by myself after 10pm) I felt completely safe!
Anthony went above and beyond to try and cater to all guests requests - even though he had some interesting ones while I was there! - and I would thoroughly recommend staying with him and the location of his place to anyone! :)
