Maria's apartment is in the heart of Williamsburg. The location can't be beat - around the corner from the Brooklyn Brewery, a few blocks from the water, and 5 min from Best Pizza. And for being in the middle of it all, we were pleased that it was completely quiet even with the windows open on a Saturday night.
While the apt is quite small, it doesn't matter because you won't be there - you'll be out exploring the neighborhood.
Maria was a fair host, rectifying a mistake the cleaning staff made.
