This is the place - if you want a comfortable, casual, roomy place to stay while in the New York area. A really nice apartment with plenty of room, 2 sleeping areas and an open, airy kitchen. Convenient street parking on a quiet street close to subways that can get you to Manhattan within 30 mins. But also close to Williamsburg so there is shopping and great restaurants (both casual and up-scale) within walking distance.
Manuela is a wonderful host - we were held up in traffic and arrived much later than expected. But she made arrangements so we were able to get in and settled without any delay.
If I come back to New York, this apartment is definitely a first choice.
