I had a awesome stay at Loralee's place! This is a great place to stay if you want to check out the city. It's literally a 5 minute (max) walk to the L-line subway which will take you into Manhattan in about 15-20 minutes. You are just a couple stops away from "downtown" Williamsburg, which has lots of bars, restaurants, and a theater.

The room itself is rather small and without a window, but it has a giant industrial-strength fan that keeps you cool at night, and beyond sleeping, what are you doing hanging out in your room on your trip to NY? There's a large area with couches to hang out, and a kitchen if you feel like cooking. Overall the loft is not fancy, but it's pretty clean and comfortable. The picture of the common area is a good representation of the place. Comfortable, with kind of the communal college/artist housing type of feel.

Loralee is awesome. We actually never met in person, but we chatted before and during my stay. She was always very friendly and helpful. She was always available via text or phone to answer any questions I had. There are three other roommates living at the loft, two of which I met, and both were friendly and helpful. Everyone in the loft is in their 20's, as is most of the neighborhood. It has a pretty young vibe.

There's a little coffee shop directly across the street, and just down the road (by the subway) is a little market selling most anything you need. The market also has a deli where they make fresh sandwiches/wraps, and have other hot food available.

This is a great place to stay while you check out the city. It's affordable, yet still very close to Manhattan. I would absolutely stay here again, and would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable and comfortable place to stay in NYC.
