Firstly Marlene was very accommodating. our flight arrived a good few hrs before the check in time but Marlene allowed us to drop off our bags in the hallway and venture out, not wasting valuable holiday time and even sent us a security camera shot of our bags still in the hallway which put our minds at ease. The location was perfect with the nearest subway being a 3 minute walk away on the local high street along with convenience stores, fast food joints and our favourite cafe Little Skips where we'd eat breakfast most mornings. There is even a phone shop where we got ourselves an American Sim card so not to be subject to extortionate phone Bill's. Getting uptown is easy on the subway but if you want to eat out locally Williamsburg is a good spot. I would say the accommodation is more suited to friends than families/Partners. I'm seriously considering returning to New York during basketball season and would not hesitate booking again with Marlene!
