Staying at Joseph's was absolutely wonderful. He welcomed me right when I got there and even helped me carry up my luggage. Check-in and check-out aswell as any other communication was smooth and easy. Joseph is a really lovely host who makes sure that his guests feel welcome and answers any and every question you could possibly have. Because of his schedule (he mostly works nights) we didn't get to see each other very much, so I almost felt like I had the whole apartment to myself :) The room is small, yet very comfortable and has everything you need for a few nights in New York City. The location is absolutely perfect in the heart of Williamsburg with all its restaurants, cafés, shops and bars. The L train aswell as the ferry (TAKE THE FERRY, it'S a gorgeous ride) are within a few minutes walking distance and as a woman traveling by myself I felt very safe the entire time. Can highly recommend staying at Joseph's place and will definitely try to do that myself when I return to NYC.
