We had a great time living in Williamsburg and really enjoyed John's place, it even became an important factor of our NY experience. The apartment was better than the pictures showed. The subway is also very close which you are grateful for if you're touristing all day long. Williamsburg is definitely the place to stay. We didnt see John on our visit but he was still a great host. From the day we booked the apartment and until we left, he always made shore we had all the information we needed and that our stay would be smooth. He got a good eye for details which we really much appreciated. If we ever will go back to NY we would definitely like to come stay here again if its available.
