Communication with Alex was spot on. He happily answered any questions and made it easy for me to arrive late at night and went above and beyond to help me have a good stay.
The apartment has been tastefully refurbished. Extremely clean, and with all you could need for cooking. The bed is so comfy. The apartment is peaceful at night and I slept so well. Some noise travels from Alex' apartment upstairs but it is only a little during the day.
The area is a bit out of the main hub of Williamsburg and Bushwick but everything is easily accessible with a short walk or the subway about 8 mins walk away.
Alex left me a list of great stores, cafes and restaurants in the immediate area.
Some people may be concerned about the area at face value as it is a white minority but I felt safe at all times. People seemed friendly.
