Angela is a terrific host, especially with prompt communication and instructions. Her place is actually bigger in person than it appears in the photos; the kitchen is especially spacious and you can really spread out in there and make yourself at home. The neighborhood is lovely, and the corner coffeeshop is a can't-miss. If you're in town to see a show at Brooklyn Steel this is an excellent crash pad, and you can also get to know the eclectic and impressive Williamsburg area. As is the case in many (most?) NYC neighborhoods, you may have to put up with some noise from your neighbors from time to time, but those periods usually pass quickly.
