After a last-minute cancellation by another host less than two weeks before our trip, we were left with very expensive or very dull Airbnb options in Williamsburg. Then Evan's place popped up and how glad we are it did. The apartment is full of character, and manages to be utterly stylish and homely at the same time. We loved the mid-century style furniture and the many coffee table books, but our absolute favourite thing about the place was the looking out at the Williamsburg bridge while lying in bed. You won't beat the view. From the window you can see the Statue of Liberty in the distance, and there's a very cute public garden/farm opposite on the waterfront. The location comes at a price though - there's a lot of noise from the traffic below and the passing trains overhead; and there is construction going on right next door too. It's also quite far from the two nearest subway stops (about 12 mins walk to each) - but pack your ear plugs and comfy walking shoes and you'll have a great stay.
