Our stay in R + S’s apartment was lovely and a great introduction to Brooklyn and New York.
The apartment itself if very spacious and well equipped to cook a meal, which we did, and has a very comfortable bed, nice floor mattress, and a lovely bathroom.
Despite there being minimal natural lighting, there are enough lamps that it doesn’t matter, and if you’re out during the day it doesn’t affect your stay anyways.
Williamsburg is a lovely safe area, very easy to catch the subway into Manhattan (L train then a connecting one) and not as difficult as we thought to navigate the subway system for first timers.
R + S had some great recommendations for food, and I will definitely be staying here again if I’m ever in New York!
