Great stay in Christina's place in the very trendy neighbourhood Williamsburg in Brooklyn. Beside the nice loft apartment itself, main upsides are the excellent access to public transport to Manhattan as well as the area itself: great locations to hang out, have breakfast as well as dinner. In fact, on some occasions we didn't even bother to go to Manhattan, but stayed in the neighbourhood as great variety of cool and quality places plus mainly locals and no tourist crowds.
One additional plus which we didn't expect: the place is just a few blocks walking distance from the new Williamsburg waterfront from which you have great view of the NY skyline, in particular by night - spectacular! Also, from there ferries go to Brooklyn bridge as well as Manhattan which is handy and an enjoyable ride on the water.
Only little downside of the apartment: although we had a good stay, for two the bed could have been a bit larger in width (only about 140cm), 10-20 more makes a difference. And, the room we were in had no window which is not a major issue, but natural light is always nice.
Nevertheless, we can only recommend the place and would come again when in NY next time.
