I had a great stay at Emily's apartment. The location is great, as others pointed out, ~10 min walk to the L Bedford and ~7 min walk to the JMZ Marcy. The apartment itself is clean, charming and stylish. She ended up being gone for part of our stay which was no problem as we had more privacy. It's a few blocks from the Williamsburg bridge, which is a great walk into Manhattan even on a cold, winter day. Her apartment is very comfortable and she's a great host. As long as you are ok with a shared apartment stay (neither us nor Emily were around much), I highly recommend her place.
