My wife and I just returned from our first visit to NYC. We home-based out of Williamsburg and took the quick L train into Manhattan each day. Even though it takes a little more time each day to do so, we have no regrets about that decision. Lane's pad is sweet. So comfortable and spacious with extras galore. It quickly began to feel like home to us. It was wonderful to spend time in the city each day, and then retreat to a quieter neighborhood for the evening. Lane's place is close enough to the fun and action on and around Bedford Ave., but far enough away from it all (including the hipster scene) to be totally quiet at night. Situated directly across the street from McCarran Park, a roof deck that has sweeping views of the neighborhood, and a bonus little deck that has a fabulous view of the Manhattan skyline...there is something impressive to see from nearly every angle of the apartment. We ended our evenings each night by going up for a look back at the city we had just explored by day. Large windows in the apartment let in lots of light. The king-size bed was super comfy. A bottle of wine, water, juice, chocolates, bagels, cream cheese...these were just a few of thoughtful things left for us upon check-in. We also appreciated the two umbrellas left for us as we had some rain during our visit. Upon checking-out, we spent one last night in a "nice" hotel in Manhattan. Not only did Lane's place end up being more comfortable and enjoyable than that hotel, but it was also less expensive. If you are hesitant about choosing this place because it isn't in Manhattan, don't be. It's a 5-minute walk to the L line and then 10-15 min to the middle of Manhattan from there. It is totally worth it in every way. You can thank me later. :)
