We Had a great experience at Ellen's place.
Location was perfect, right in the centre of hip Williamsburg with great Bars,Cafes,Restaurants,Delis all at your doorstep.
Manhattan only a 10 Min Subway ride, but Brooklyn is much more interesting in my opinion.
Perfect little place to rest for the weary traveller.
Record collection is awesome, I reccomend a bit of Velvet Underground and Rolling Stones.
Thanks Again Ellen and enjoy the beers !
