The apartment to Lane in Williamsburg was a treasure for us. We have never been in New York, and came here for my wife 50-year anniversary. We spent the days on Manhattan, and are so greatfull that we "escaped" during the evening - and saw the Big Apple from the very nice wives from the roof top. The owner, Lane, was very helpful both planning our trips, but responded promptly also when we were in NY. We will recommend Lanes apartment to all our friends that we hear will visit this area.
Great restaurants was discovered locally in Williamsburg in the evenings - also recommended by Lane. We tried on or two that was not part of Lanes list but these also proved to be very good. looks like the whole area is just trying to do the right things.
