Ming, her family, the apartment and the neighborhood are all wonderful--we really loved staying here. The apartment is stylish, has character and is very comfortable. Ming is very kind and thoughtful as a host and her whole family that lives downstairs is super lovely and welcoming. The annual block party happened during our stay and it was nice to see how friendly everyone is with each other on the block (and with us as well.) We learned that the author Henry Miller also lived on this block and called it "the most enchanting street I have ever seen in all my life." The location is close to Bedford Ave. and has many attractive restaurants, bars, and shops, including Whole Foods, but is in an alley, so is quiet. We love staying in Williamsburg and would happily stay in Ming's place again and highly recommend it.
