Patrick was very accommodating with his apartment and gave some neighborhood tips. The room was comfortable, sunny, and quiet since it faces the back of the building. The location is great because you are in walking distance from the subway (5 min.) and many great shops, restaurants, bars, etc. This was my first time staying in and exploring Williamsburg and I really enjoyed it there (reminds me a lot of the Mission in SF). If you want to go into the city, its a quick 10-15 ride on the L line. I would absolutely recommend his place if you're looking for a laid back , safe, and convenient stay outside of Manhattan!
