The hosts
Cindy and Naief are the two of the most welcoming, friendly, interesting and engaging people we have met. They were most respectful of our needs and privacy yet willing to share all their local knowledge on their neighbourhood, best places to eat, drink, and experience broader NYC in addition to leaving a really helpful set of tips and contacts to get us started on our New York adventure.
Because Naief and Cindy live next door and work on site, they were around and available when needed to answer questions and offer advice. It also gave us an additional sense of security.
They were really flexible and available for both check-in and check-out and really could not do enough to make sure we had an excellent and most memorable visit to their city and neighbourhood.
The apartment
The apartment has a huge bedroom which can open through double doors to the living space creating an even bigger sense of space. It is located on a quiet street, yet is really centrally located with an easy walk to a couple of subway options.
Just around the corner from the apartment in any direction were great shops, restaurants, bars and food markets/ delis and short walk (or bike ride) took us to the heart of both Williamsburg and Greenpoint. It is close to the East River State Park & beautiful McCarron Park (with pool, yoga, running track).
The apartment is spacious, extremely clean and comfortable with lovely bed linen, plenty of thick towels, bathroom products and boasts a super well equipped kitchen.
Filtered water and breakfast products were waiting for us in the fridge and the huge bed and sofa bed both really comfortable. The apartment worked really well to accommodate two single people, and catered for our work needs also, with desks and free wifi, access to printer etc.
We will be back to NYC! But only if we can book here again!
