My mum and I stayed in Mette's apartment in Williamsburg for a week. Beautiful, tastefully designed, clean and spacious. Perfect location for subway, as well as the shops and restaurant around Bedford Avenue. Couldn't ask for anything more central outside Manhattan!

Mette was a great host, very helpful and responsive. All amenities were new and working well, great little kitchen for when you don't want to eat out.

I have only two comments for future guests: 1) there are cockroaches in the building and some made it in to the apartment. We managed to keep them under control with spray. They're common in New York, of course, but we're not used to them! And 2) if you're a light sleeper, you'll find it hard without earplugs as the apartment is just above a very busy intersection. Lots of beeping cars etc.

All in all, we had a great time, and the location, buzz and brilliant coffee shops more than made up for the occasional insect visit.
