I enjoyed my stay at Paco and Pamela’s place!
Pro: lightning speed responses by hosts, easy self checkin, and prime location in Williamsburg close to shops, restaurants, and public transit. The best part of the house was the fully stocked kitchen — if you like to cook you will find everything you need to cook meals at home with high quality kitchenware. There’s a wonderful cupcake shop down the street as a bonus.
Things to consider before staying here: apartment is located on a busy street and there is naturally a lot of street noise. Sirens and neighbors blasting music was a common occurrence so keep that in mind if you’re a light sleeper or you need to be in a quiet space to work remotely (my case). I found the apartment way too dark for my preference. Even with all the possible lights on, the living room in particular does not get a lot of natural light. I actually purchased a lamp for extra lighting because I was working remotely during evening hours, but if you’ll be out and about I don’t think this will be a problem. Finally, couches are pretty old and I felt they had a strange odor that I didn’t love.
