What most fascinated me was the area. Williamsburg is not only the most exciting in terms of new places to eat and drink in Brklyn and NY but the urban renovation going on is quite exceptional. The views of Manhattan from the riverside are unique and worth-seeing. Evan´s place is some 15min walk from there, close to the tube (L line) and buses. His bedroom is large, beautifully designed and very much like in the picture and very comfortable. Communication with him was easy. Other people do live in the house and they all seem to work in the arts, which adds a fun/messy feel to the place - but also a reason why we chose not to use the kitchen, something we always do at breakfast. In general we did have a great time there.
