Lauren is a great host, making our stay very comfortable en feeling like home. It is definitely her house and not a hotel. That is why we liked it. You'll find personal belongings and stuff in the fridge. But there is enough space, a TV with movies for a relaxing time and nice beds and two bathrooms.
Williamsburg is a hip neighborhood and a very good place to find a diner-restaurant after a 'busy' holiday day in Manhattan. Also, the connection with public transport - L line is good. We cycled with the city bikes, (also across the Williamsbridge) and the "Citibike" have a parking spot in the same street. Lauren was reachable all the time and very helpful and kind.
