Alana's place is fantastic. It's big, clean, in a great location and full of excellent perks (coffee and tea were essential!). She made her presence known via text but was not at all intrusive. We enjoyed our stay very much and will certainly be back.
Space: Big, stylish. BIG bathroom for Williamsburg (i.e. not a closet), and lots of space to lounge around without feeling claustrophobic, at all.
Location: Excellent! Check out the bar scene on Union and/or Grand -- it's a blast. Lots of great food nearby -- Yelp is your friend. The L-Train station is 2 or 3 stops away from Manhattan; it's just blocks away on Metropolitan and Union. When you find the subway station entrance, keep your eyes peeled for the diner on the corner -- it'll save your life at 3am if you're hungry.
Traveler tips: She has a loud fan available for use in the bedroom area, which is great, but there is a bus stop outside. If you plan to sleep in, bring an eye mask and a noise machine (it's NYC, people -- it's sometimes loud). But it's very, very quiet by NYC standards. .
