Location, location, location! My stay at Sam's place was nothing but pleasant, safe and restful (my musts). Sam herself was very accommodating and responsive, never intrusive or imposing. Her home came with all the basics and was generally kept rather clean. there were some interesting art on the walls to boot! The L train (which was what I needed to take for my own itinerary) was a short and safe walk from her home. The area became more alive with diners and event-goers at night and on the weekends. There were so many food places/choices around, but I never got enough time to enjoy most of them (that's on me). I recommend Sam as a host and her place as your home away from home while in Williamsburg. Thanks, Sam! I wish you all the best.
