Had a wonderful week at Mari's place. Both she and her bf were great hosts. We were all pretty busy during this graduation week, but the little bit of time we shared together was great. They are very laidback and easygoing. The location is ideal to both the beautiful Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn as well as to Manhattan. There are bars/restaurants right across the street & you're right off the main street of Bedford with lots of great shops and places to eat. I particularly loved MIUSA right across the street. I took the Airtrain & subway from JFK. Easy & cheaper than a car. The apartment is a quaint 2 bedroom on the first floor. Had no issues at all with the shared common areas. The bedroom is decent size by city standards and has a great closet for hanging your clothes. The bedroom has a window & the neighborhood is relatively quiet. I was concerned about my sleeping comfort as I don't have the best back. And while the mattress isn't 4star, it was certainly adequate for a good night's sleep. She was extremely accommodating with my check in and out although I'm sure circumstances may at times dictate otherwise. I would definitely recommend Mari's place for anyone visiting the city. And I will definitely stay here again when I'm in the city.
