The place was great but there was one caveat that was an unfortunate situation and we were so lucky to being staying at a host as great as Sofia. The afternoon that we checked in, the gas company decided to shut off the gas to the block. Apparently, it was that morning that they put up notices (according to neighbors) so when we went to have showers, there was no hot water. This was no issue due to Sofia or her place, just some typical NYC utilities company stuff. Unfortunately, we didn't have hot water or gas to cook with but Sofia made sure to look after us and we are so thankful she did. The place is just as described, very, very centrally located for Williamsburg, but not loud at all (we were there on the 4th of July and it was still quiet in the apartment). Has everything you need to have a wonderful stay and we're thankful we chose her place.
