I stayed for a month in Dominique's place and it is a beautiful place to stay. It is full of lovely art and furniture, immaculately clean, very quiet, which is extremely rare in NYC, and full of natural light. The wifi also worked great. Dominique was a really helpful and responsive host and the location couldn't be better. It is half a block from the North 5th Street park on the East River, where you can catch the ferry to Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn, and enjoy views of the Manhattan skyline. It is right opposite a great supermarket and minutes away from all the excellent bars, cafes, restaurants and independent stores that Williamsburg is known for. It's also a short walk to the L Train subway station at Bedford Avenue, from which you can be in Manhattan in one stop. If you're visiting NYC, rather than staying in Manhattan, I would stay at Dominique's lovely place in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and enjoy the best of both!
