An excellent base for a trip to New York City. Close to L subway which is one stop from the heart of Williamsburg and a few stops from Union Square in the centre of Manhattan, from there you can get almost anywhere in the 5 boroughs.
I only met Holly as Gus was away on business. She was very friendly and welcomed me into her home, gave me my own key and left me to get on with my holiday.
The apartment is warm and cosy, the three cats are a little shy and very sweet.
The neighbourhood felt safe to me, there is a great chinese laundry just round the corner and two 24hr shops and a 24hr diner in easy walking distance for those that intend to make full use of the city that never sleeps.
