We had a fantastic stay in Peter's apartment, we would definitely recommend staying here. The apartment, which we thought must be part of a converted industrial building, is lovely and has a quirky charm. There is also a communal roof garden and both the apartment and roofgarden have great views of Manhattan. The area the apartment is in is quiet and feels safe, with some great local bars and places for cheap eats. Transport connections are good, there is a subway about 5 minutes walk away and a bus that brings you into Williamsburg. You can also get the East River Ferry from down the road if you want to travel by water (we recommend you try this out!) The apartment was lovely and clean when we arrived and there were no problems getting access. Peter left good instructions for us about using the stove etc and sent us a message after we arrived to make sure everything was ok.
To be honest we didn't want to leave!
