Our stay at Laura's apartment in Williamsburg was fantastic - perfect space for a couple. From the start of our booking she answered all our questions promptly and was there to welcome us and go through what we needed to know about her place. It was lovely to meet her after chatting for a few months before our stay. Her apartment was very clean, just as you see in the pics, she even left fresh flowers for us. Its located only a block from the L train which gets you into Manhattan in minutes. The bathroom is very small with no sink (there is a double sink in kitchen though - the kitchen is huge by the way!) but it does have a bath and shower. You hear the rumble of the metro underground and the upstairs neighbour was heavy footed but we got use to it all very quickly, enhancing our experience of authentic New York living!
We were so pleased we decided to stay in Williamsburg instead of Manhattan as it allowed us to escape the hustle and noise when needed and also explore Brooklyn. Williamsburg has a cool hipster vibe with some amazing restaurants (Sweetwater Restaurant and Reynard in the Wythe Hotel are fantastic!) and the stores in the surrounding converted warehouses are definitely worth checking out. There is a scrumptious food market on Saturday and Flea market on Sunday at the end of the block.... both a must visit. The view of Manhattan's city skyline from here is pretty cool too!
I can't recommended our stay at Laura's highly enough. She was a lovely host and the apartment had everything we needed. Our stay there truly made our 10 day trip to NY one not to forget.
