Everything is absolutely accurate in the description and I would recommend the place without reservation. Gus and Holly are indeed a very laid back couple that are both respectful of your privacy but also friendly and conversational. They made me feel at home and I'm sure they'll make you feel welcome too.
The room and apartment were clean, well decorated, and had a better than expected supply of kitchen equipment. Additionally, the apartment has tall ceilings, plenty of sunlight, and even a dedicated area to workout with an available and legit pull-up bar.
The apartment covers the entire top floor of a multi-story building in Williamsburg and as described there's easy access to the roof -- which offers a fantastic view of the surrounding Williamsburg. It was charming to hangout out and enjoy a meal with friends up there as the sun set in the distance...
If you want to go somewhere, there are multiple subway lines within easy walking distance.
For people who may be interested:
- The outside traffic can get a little loud at night but nothing overly excessive.
- Being the top floor of a 3 story walk-up, expect to climb some stairs on a fairly regular basis...But don't worry, you get used to it and then feel like a champ in no time. ;)
