David and Janet were very welcoming and from the start we felt at home and were able to come and go as we liked. David was there to greet us on arrival. On my last night my daughter and I shared a beautiful home cooked meal (local organic chicken) with David and Janet. As they know the area and local community so well they were able to give plenty of advice and tips on what to see and do. They recommended a trip to the Brooklyn Ikea which I did and would recommend as a good cheap way to see New York using the ferries.
D&J know most of the locals so all we had to do was say we were staying at the Container House with D&J and we were treated like one of the broader community family.
Location was ideal for us as it was a 2 minute walk to Hewes Street Station and then a short M train straight to mid town where my 18yr daughter was working for 5 weeks. It was also only a short walk to Bedford Street to join all the hipsters for coffee and vintage clothing shopping. There are also plenty of NY Bike stations in the area so using bikes was a great way to see Williamsburg and Manhattan. Riding across Brooklyn Bridge was worth the effort.

We rented a private space downstairs so we were not in a container (On the ground floor there is accommodation in a container which looked very nice indeed and spacious and I would recommend that if you like a little luxury).
Our space suited us perfectly as it allowed my daughter to have the one place for her whole 5 week stay but also allowed me to stay for a week and later my wife to stay for a week. It had two beds, own bathroom, small kitchen area, TV, free Wifi. It was very warm and cosy and quiet. Anything else we needed like iron and ironing board we just asked for.
The downstairs space is fairly basic and a work in progress but David is transforming it over time. If you want 5 star luxury the downstairs accommodation may not be the place for you. But for us it was perfect.

I would not hesitate to go back and whenever I travel to NY I will try to stay at D&Js either downstairs or in the ground level apartment. Location is great, it felt safe and being so close to the station we were OK with our 18yr daughter commuting alone, you feel like you are part of the community, D&J are friendly and know the area and people so well.
Already looking forward to my next trip to NY.
