William is a wonderful host, who gave us the necessary information in advance. The appartment was very clean and well equipped. Manhattan can be reached very easy and quick (approx. 30 minutes) with the bus - or a walk instead and the subway. Being in Brooklyn was valuable for us - not only seeing Manhattan and the touristic parts but also parts of NY whe would have not seen otherwise. We can also highly recommend to see Williamsburg whis is nearby Williams´place.
