My friend and I found a home away from home at Renata and Howard's place. We stayed there for three nights. It's beautiful, clean, and very cozy. it looked exactly as pictured. The space was good for four adults. The bed and the sofa bed were very comfortable. Howard and Renata also let us use the washer and dryer, which were located in the apartment. Shower was fantastic. We used their electric kettle a lot to make tea.
The apartment is a short walk to Prospect park, restaurants, coffee shop, and grocery stores. Commute from and to Manhattan was easy breezy. You could take B and Q train from station a couple of blocks away from the apartment (this station has elevator, which is great if you carry big luggage) or you could take the 2 train and get off at Winthrop St. (Sterling St station was out of service). We went to Williamsburg many times so having the B44-SBS stops only a few blocks away from the apartment was very convenient.
Renata and Howard were easy to reach and communicate with. They always made sure that we were happy staying at their place. We had the pleasure of meeting Howard and he recommended us some places to hang out and eat at. Overall, Renata and Howard's place was great, and my friend and I were sad to leave. Hopefully we could come back to NYC and stay at their place again, and maybe try out more places that Howard recommended.
