We stayed in Pete's apartment for 5 weeks over the summer.
Pete met us on arrival and was always quick to respond to any messages we sent. Pete also checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was running smoothly.
The apartment is large and airy with all the amenities required for a longer stay (A/C, cable TV, Netflix, Washer-Dryer etc.). As has been mentioned by other reviewers, the apartment is much larger and nicer than the photos, a pleasant surprise upon arrival. Having two bathrooms, each with a shower, was useful for a small family group.
The apartment is located in a modern building right across the street from McCarron Park. We have 2 small children and used the large playground every day, as well as the fantastic public pool in McCarron Park several times during our stay. The area felt child-friendly by New York standards. Worth also noting also that the neighbours in the building were extremely friendly. We felt completely at home here.
Williamsburg is a hip and happening area with loads of coffee shops/bars/restaurants etc. We spent most of our free time in this area. I commuted into midtown Manhattan each day on the G train from Nassau Ave which took approx. 30mins. If you go out in the evening, most parts of Manhattan/Brooklyn/Queens can also be reached in an Uber for less than $20.
I would definitely recommend both this apartment and the area to anyone visiting New York. Pete is an efficient host who will look after your group.
