During my stay in NYC, I changed 3 apartments and Kate's place was beyond a shadow of a doubt the best! Kate, Wes and Mr. Butter are perfect hosts. Very friendly, helpful, always ready to answer any question and giving me tips and suggestions about NYC. The apartment is pretty warm (during a cold cold cold winter) and clean, the kitchen is fully equipped and the bathroom is nice and clean. The room is large, bright and quiet with a very comfortable bed, a large closet, plenty of storage; the window opening to the backyard garden is a plus. The J train is just a few blocks away and it's perfect to go to JFK airport or to Manhattan quickly. In the neighborhood there are some cool pubs and venues (Goodbye Blue Monday, for all) and the Williamsburg's vibrant nightlife is just a few stops away. I really felt at home and I would definitely stay here again and again. I highly recommend Kate's place!!
