Four of us had a great stay in the up and coming Williamsburg. There are a number of great bars and restaurants all within walking distance. There are also dry cleaners, laundrettes and supermarkets close by which is very handy on long stays.
Sal was a fantastic host with a great sense of humour. He gave us loads of info and history about the area so we didn't waste anytime in finding the best eating places to fill our stomachs! The place itself is spacious, clean and has a wonderful backyard if you want to enjoy the warm weather privately.its exactly abs it looks in the pictures!
The L train, which takes you straight to lower manhattan in 15 mins,is less than a 10min walk away.
I would strongly recommend staying here if you want to taste the real New York. I'll definitely will be booking again next year!
