David and Michelle´s place is amazing! It´s really nicely located in Williamsburg near the J, L and G subways, so you can get around Brooklyn and into Manhattan really easily.

Regardless of the great location, this place is an amazing piece of sustainable architecture and we were really excited to stay in a home made of shipping containers. The apartment, which is downstairs, is below their main living area, and the hosts were kind enough to give us a tour of the whole house. It´s really impressive, and they are excited to share their ideas on urbanism, politics and sustainability in New York.

The apartment itself is warm and insulated pretty well from noises outside. There are two futon beds, and we had three people sleeping there comfortably. There´s a great collection of books, as well as some nice little touches to make you feel at home.

I´m definitely going to contact them again next time I need a place to stay in New York!
