Location: Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA (12 Minutes to Manhattan by Subway, 20 Minutes to Airports)
Accommodations: Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-5)
SUNNY, cute apartment on the third floor of a freestanding privately-owned house. There is one bedroom with a queen bed plus a pull-out sofabed in the living room area, a full kitchen and full bath. Has the charm of a B&B but can sleep 4- or 5 in a pinch.
TRANSPORT: The apartment is 30 yards from the subway and to get from our stop, (Grand Street on the L line) to Union Square in Central Manhattan is less than 10 minutes (I timed it!) The subway runs 24 hours.
AREA: It's a very quiet residential block-- a nice place to come back to after Manhattan's hectic pace and noise. Williamsburg is a fun, fashionable area and there is plenty of shopping, good food, and nightlife in the neighborhood. We are always happy to recommend our favorite local spots and provide every guest with a guide to the neighborhood.
KIDS: We love kids!
A HUGE ADVANTAGE over Manhattan: parking is easy to find!
WE PROVIDE: linens, towels, dishes, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, pots, pack & play, etc.
FEES: We require a $100 deposit by check or Paypal to hold the reservation, and prefer the rest in cash when guests arrive. The rate is $135 per night in the busy season and $125 per night from January through March. For stays of three days or less there is a $50 cleaning fee. There are no other taxes or extras.

We have lived in Wiliamsburg for ten years and we love the area. We live on the second floor (completely separate apartment) and have two kids, so we are very family friendly.
Why the Owner Chose Brooklyn
It's nice to get out of Manhattan at night and enjoy a more easygoing atmosphere. Williamsburg has a youthful, artistic scene and is a great place for families.

We stayed for about a week while renovating our home nearby. (2 Adults, 2 kids, ages 7 & 4). It's the top floor of a beautiful old house. For me the top floor is romantic and made me feel like I was in Paris or something. The place is sunny and bright in the day and quiet at night. Our hosts were always attentive to anything we needed or had a question about. . We're familiar with the neighborhood and we love it. Williamsburg is a great neighborhood and you'll see far more than if you stay in some chain hotel in midtown Manhattan. This is perfectly situated close enough to explore the restaurants, galleries, bike shops and parties nearby and far enough from the overcrowded places. You can't find this kind of space for this kind of price.

Affordable Option for Tackling New York + Great Intro to Brooklyn

Stayed here during the summer for a number of nights, including two nights with our young children. It's ultra-convenient with a subway stop less than a minute away. We spent most of our days in Manhattan, but loved walking around in Brooklyn, too. The neighborhood was terrific--especially loved Fortunato Bros, the bar just down the street, and a bagel shop a few blocks north. Lots of restaurants and coffeeshops etc. Felt safe, if perhaps under-tattooed. Apartment was clean and quiet and despite the heat the air conditioners worked quite well. Bathroom was only downside. Sloped eaves make showering pretty much an impossibility, so you'll need to make do. Small quibble. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat if NY is ever again on the agenda.

Perfect place if you, like us, want to visit Brooklyn and Manhattan: the flat is just a minute walking far from the Subway line that is connecting this two boroughs. The same subway line is also connected to the JFK airport so it was just super for us to stay there! Nice flat, some really cool cafes and shops vegan/vegetarian friendly in the neigbourood, cool owner. And hey, we loved Williamsburg. When will visit again US we'll return here for sure.

My best friend and I had a great time at this apartment. Maybe it was all the walking in NYC, but I slept like a rock on the bed and the couch was surprisingly comfy as well! Very clean, quiet and literally steps away from the L subway line. A 9 minute subway ride with one quick transfer puts you at Grand Central! If you want a clean, quiet, and comfy place to crash after lots of site-seeing, this is your place. Cassie was very helpful and allowed us to leave our bags the day we checked-out so we could spend our last day exploring without the stress of wondering what to do with out luggage. We would definitely stay here again.
