David and Janet were fantastic hosts in what will likely be one of the most unique homes you'll ever stay in. Their responses back to my inquiries were always quick and timely. The location of their home was easily accessible by public transit (yup - took the bus/train from LaGuardia) and they're connected to the G, L, J and M lines, along with a number of other nearby bus stops. At the time of my stay, I had my own cozy room with heated floors and access to my own washroom. They mentioned that there's ongoing work being done to the space, so it might be even more lavish the next time it's booked. The room is also located away from their living space two floors up so the separation allowed for enough privacy but they were always accessible if I had any questions.

This house will appeal to you if you're into architecture, design, sustainability and unique spaces. In the hip neighbourhood of Williamsburg, there's always interesting places to explore, but I also found it quiet and safe so it's like getting the best of both worlds.

All-in-all, this was a very positive experience. The two are wonderful, friendly people (with a very friendly dog which was never an issue) who are knowledgeable in so many things. I would highly recommend them for anyone staying for a quick New York trip and ever wanted to see what living in a converted Shipping Container would be like!
