This is a great airbnb situation. The Apartment is very very nice, if anything it's too big for that authentic NYC experience. The photos are entirely accurate. The bedroom is quiet. Williamsburg is fun, interesting, and has awesome restaurants, coffee, etc. etc. There is even limited on street parking, if your so crazy as to bring a car. There are two subway stops 4-5 blocks away. It's close to the super highway, but noise is no issue. Beware there is a storefront church down stairs, so on Thursday evening we were treated to a full on evangelical event. That was fun. It wrapped up by 10pm returning things to their usual peace and quiet.
