This apartment is a gem. The location is in a very cool, (for tourists undiscovered) part of Brooklyn where you can still find the coziness of a tight community and do groceries at the local meat shop and bakery. A perfect hide-away but still so close to the hip Williamsburg or the subway to Manhattan. I loved the apartment; it has a great view over Manhattan and a nice artistic feel, with all the records and the books and guitar, and the industrial ceiling and walls.
Painter was a great host, very accurate and he had lovely tips. One of my favorite places in the area was the movie theater ‘Nitehawk’, where you get served food and drinks throughout the whole movie. If you want to get a real taste of New York without being suffocated by tourists or commercial stores, than this is the place for you! Nice cozy bars in the neighborhood as well. Definitely recommended!!
