Sam’s place is literally in the hot part of Williamsburg. I stayed here for around a month to work remotely and found it to be very cozy. The place is steps away from the L. Sam was also very accommodating. Overall, this place was a steal.
These aspects didn’t bother me, but I think the wall borders the stairwell so you could occasionally hear footsteps. This is probably typical of anywhere else in NYC, so if you’re a light sleeper I would just bring earplugs. Overall, if I’m in the city I would stay here again!
