The apartment is located in a lively area with plenty of restaurants, bars, cinemas, shops. Whole Foods is a few minutes away. The East River is a few minutes away and has great views of Manhattan. The Bedford Ave. L station is about a 7 minute walk, linking you to Manhattan in just a few minutes.
The apartment itself was cool and cozy, interesting design and everything you would need, as indicated in the listing. Some noise does get in from the street and bars, especially on weekends from partygoers, and while this was not a problem for me, light sleepers may not enjoy it.
Greg was also a great host, meeting us upon arrival and showing us around the house, providing area recommendations, and staying in easy contact.
Overall this was a great experience for me for a one week NYC trip. It was good to get out of Manhattan but still have easy access to it. The Williamsburg neighborhood has a lot of interesting things to do and this apartment is right in the middle of it. I recommend it and would stay again.
