When you hear ‘Williamsburg’ this is what you picture. Exposed brick walls, eclectic style… this apartment has it all. The fifth-floor walk-up is as quintessentially Williamsburg as they come, with quirky touches from the artist owner dotted all around. A twelve-seat farmhouse-style table takes centre-stage, with a charming selection of mismatched chairs and cushions – if you want somewhere to gather with friends, you won’t find better than this. The apartment is right at the heart of Williamsburg, with bars, restaurants and cafes in abundance. Grand Ferry Park is a four-minute walk away, so you can easily get your fix of the Great Outdoors. It takes just ten minutes by car to reach the Lower East Side, so you can take in the views from Battery Park before strolling to Chinatown for lunch. After busy days seeing the sights and soaking up the atmosphere of NYC and the boroughs, returning to this apartment feels like a real treat. Sip a glass of wine while watching the sun set from the bedroom window, then settle in for a comfortable night’s sleep. You’ll wish you were staying longer.

About Williamsburg
Williamsburg is the home of hipsterism – it’s where the cool kids hang out. Here, you’re never far from a craft beer or artisan coffee, and some of New York’s hottest restaurants line the once-dilapidated streets. The locals (an eclectic mix of young and increasingly affluent creative professionals) like to keep it casual and know how to have a good time.
