We stayed at Trista's place for 9 nights and enjoyed the peace, quiet and comfort that Trista's place provided. We slept great every night and really appreciated the separate bedroom space versus what you might get in a studio flat. Totally quiet at night; totally comfortable! The connection to the metro was excellent, and we were able to go to all destinations in NYC from this location. Ross St has a bit more than it's share of garbage sitting on the curb, but beginning just a couple blocks from Trista's place is a beautiful green space along the East River that has spectacular views of Manhattan, & all the bridges. Also nearby is the hip and happening Williamsburg neighborhood. I overheard a tour guide say, "If you can afford it, Williamsburg is the place where you would want to live." As such, there are great places to eat, shop and drink. Trista was friendly and helpful to us. Communication was so easy. So yeah, if you're up for staying in a spot that is unique, away from the Manhattan bustle, and super comfortable, give Trista's place a shot!
