Emily's house is like staying at a friend's home. It has all its personal belongings in there, and you can feel that someone usually lives there. We really like that, as it is not like going into a hotel for 7 days, but rather some familiar home. The bathroom is a bit small and a bit old, but it works completely fine.
There are two rooms, the one facing the street is a bit noisy on weekends, so take that in mind.
The location is good, but it is not the most hip neighbour. For us it was fine, but it might feel a bit insecure for some people. We took the subway every day, and it takes like 30-40 min to get into Manhattan. To get into Williamsburg, we had to take the bus. There are some shops and restaurants nearby.
