General overview
Our inviting apartment sits in a part of hip Williamsburg Brooklyn that is close to all the fun but far enough away to be peaceful for rest.
10 min to Union Square and a 20 min walk to the water front in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
We are nestled 2 blocks from the subway on a tree lined street that has two small community parks on it with 2 citi bike rentals at either end, with a church and a retirement home bookending the block. This keeps it quiet and safe but close to transportation.
I’ve lived in this building about 16 years and can tell you, this place is a slice of heaven!
Good vibes abound!
The space
We live on the second floor up one flight of stairs. There are two entrances but we only use the entrance to our living room. The apt was renovated in July but it still has the charm that a 100 year old building has, such as, exposed brick.
There are two couches both large enough for a single person, one of which pulls out to a queen sleeper.
The main bedroom has a queen bed and toddler bed currently.
We enjoy 2 bathrooms. One has a shower and one has a tub.
The kitchen has a nice stove for baking and a power burner, a barista style espresso machine, a new microwave and new fridge.
This is our primary residence so although we have a regular cleaning person, this feels like a real home and may have a lived in feel.
The cat, Maruscha, lives here full time, going on 16-20 years (?) and needs peace and TLC. If you can do that we are a match but if not, this home is not for you. She is very important to us and would be happy to treat your animal with the same respect. ❤️
We have listed 4 people can stay but children can count as one more.

Neighbourhood
We would be happy to share our fav places with you via Google maps and messages but you probably already know why you want to come to NYC. We hope you love our neighborhood as much as we do!
Getting to my home
You can get here in about 25 min from LGA and 40 min from JFK in a car. I can help you with navigating the subway if you prefer that but it will take about 1 hr that way. The public transportation around our place is excellent and we are happy to help you pick out some choice subways or buses. If you have a car, the alternate side parking is a standard affair and you can read the signs accordingly and check online for holidays to see
If you don’t have to move your car. I don’t recommend a car unless you really need it. The bikes are great around her as well and you will do very well
Walking.

Sarah
Hi there! I’m Sarah and this is my family, Andrew and Luca. We love to travel and meet new people. We were trusted hosts and experience hosts on Airbnb for a few years and have over 100 positive reviews. 😊
Our fav places to visit are Mexico, Sardinia, and Madagascar in the next 5 years. Open to all inquiries keeping in mind this is our primary residence.
We have an elderly 🐈⬛ cat that stays on premises at our humble but mighty hip apartment in Brooklyn. 🌃
