My stay was great and Paul was a fantastic host. My Mom and I came in from Jersey City and the apartment was ready just as we arrived. We met with Paul's wife and his adorable daughter. She gave us the keys and showed us around the apartment. Even before our trip, Paul was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. And during the trip, Paul went out of his way to quickly fix any issues we had. This included amenities we needed, extra keys and checking on our air conditioner to make sure it was running correctly. These were minor issues that were quickly squared away.

The apartment itself is small with no frills but comfortable. I slept on the surprisingly comfortable futon and my mom used the bedroom bed. The shower water was great and always hot. There is a train running closely to living room window but it's not too loud. Maybe bring some ear plugs if you're very sensitive to noise. It didn't bother me. The great thing is that the train is super close. Only about a two minute walk away!

The neighborhood is very diverse and lively with day to day city activities. If you're looking for a truer sense of New York community as opposed to certain Manhattan neighborhoods, this is the place for you. It really felt like we were living in Bushwick rather than visiting.

All in all, this is a great value stay and not too far from and Manhattan or Willimsburg attractions. I would gladly stay here again. Thanks again Paul!
