Jae’s place is a pretty safe choice for a monthly stay. The apartment has all the utensils you need, for cooking, cleaning, bathroom and sleeping. The lighting you get inside is a highlight, the floors are new and the table is big and foldable.
I stayed there for 2 months with my colleague, so we took turns on the bed and couch. As for most NY apartments, the sofa-bed is not optimal and actually sleeps better folded.
A few points to notice:
Wifi sometimes suffers some variations, but nothing more than for a period of the day somedays. The smart tv controls did not work very well, so you better install a device to mirror your smartphone.
The sealing of the windows are not exactly optimal, so you can expect some wind and noise entering. When cooking, it is better to leave them open, as the vent fans don’t handle all the job in removing the smells.
These are the only points that need attention, the rest is good.
Jae is a busy man so communication sometimes may suffer a few delays, but overall he will be there for any main issue.
Williamsburg is also a highlight, because it offers a more tranquil environment than Manhattan, still with everything you need and 5 stops away/20 minutes from the city by train (Montrose Station). We moved to a Manhattan place with the same budget and got ourselves a 2 bedroom but with no windows, tight living room and uncomfortable smells.
If you are staying here I recommend the Win Son Bakery right in front and the Sternberg park.
