I lived in Williamsburg Brooklyn for almost a decade. I like to visit my old neighborhood after spending the Holidays with my family in PA, before heading back to Austin. I wasn't planning on making the trip to Brooklyn this year, so I was happy to be able to book Jeff's place rather last-minute. He answered all of my messages right away (while he was traveling in Europe *VERY impressive). Although we did not meet in person, I can tell Jeff is a really cool guy with great style. His place was nicer and more spacious than a Hotel. I especially liked the private balcony and SUPER QUIET block. *No sound of sirens or passing traffic. The decor is modern and the building is very trendy. There is a Door Person 24 hours; They're all very friendly and helpful, which made the Check In/Out process super easy. I felt very safe at all times. You can not beat the location! Jeff's place is only a block from the L Stop at Bedford (one stop from east village)... take it from a local... it's doesn't get any better than that! *It was freezing temperatures during our visit, so it was a relief to not have to walk any distance to the subway. The hip neighborhood has everything, while maintaining a mom-and-pop-shop feel. You can wine and dine on any types of cuisine. I suggest Happy Hour at Le Fanfare (new location branching from Manhattan'd EPISTROPHE), DuMont Burger for lunch, Beacon's Closet for thrift shopping, Brooklyn Brewery for local beers, and House of YES! for dancing and late-night entertainment. Enjoy Williamsburg! And don't forget to tip your servers and bartenders ;)
