I lived in Williamsburg for years and come back frequently to see friends. We've stayed in a string of really awful places, and now that we've found this place we won't book anywhere else ever again. The location is a dream, directly across from one of my favorite bars and the best movie theater, and while in the living room you can hear the bar at night, in the bedroom which is in the back of the apartment, you cannot. I am a very light sleeper and I had no trouble sleeping here. The apartment is beautifully renovated and cared for, super clean and comfy, and had everything we needed. The basic tools for cooking are there, but I didn't notice spices, condiments, or oils (doesn't mean they weren't there, though, we ate out the whole trip). The bed was comfortable, there were plenty of fresh, clean towels, the closet had hangers and a place to put your suitcase, and the shower had plenty of hot water. If you've never been to New York, the walk up (2 floors), small bathroom sink, or noise may bother you, but you will truly be hard pressed to find a better place than this. Cathy even left us some wine since we stayed over Valentines day (though we didn't get a chance to drink it). Take it from this New Yorker, book this place! You won't regret it.
