We chose Sean's place based on the location and it really was fantastic. A perfect base to explore Williamsburg! It was easy to set off and explore the surrounding cafes and shops and call back 'home' when we needed to. The metro (to Manhattan) is also really close. When I booked I was concerned about street noise (light sleeper) but it wasn't bad at all. We could often hear the people above us and around us (who were very heavy footed!!) until the early hours of the morning which was annoying but reflects the age of the building. Sean was great and there to show us around on arrival.
