  Comments: Good location for our Brooklyn stay. Beautiful view of Manhattan from this corner Swedish-Boho apartment. Turn on the heat in the winter and enjoy Netflix or Amazon prime. Pies 'n' Thighs is a block away for comfort food and streaming music are bonuses! The gym downstairs is very nice and love the doorman and elevator. The rooftop view is amazing and also looks like one of the photos provided. It was very easy to get in touch with Esther. Thanks for our stay!

• Reviewer: Meenu

  Comments: Esther's place is hip and trendy. The location cannot be better. The famous bagel shop just cross the street and Marth's bakery to all trendy cafes are within the blocks.The rooftop view is unbelievable but the view from the living room/kitchen is also grand. The apartment has everything you can think of and the doormen are very helpful. I enjoyed every bit of it. Will love to come back again. Meenu

  Comments: Nice apartment, great hosts. Very good experience overall.

• Reviewer: Katherine

  Comments: This is a great apartment! Stylishly contemporary in a new building, the apartment offers fabulous views (be sure to check out the well-designed roof terrace for even better views). It is just steps away from the trendy shops and restaurants in Williamsburg, and is also easy walking distance to two subway lines for trips to Manhattan. For folks from out-of-town unfamiliar with NYC apartments, be aware that because space is at a premium in the city, living areas are smaller than what you may be used to. But by NYC standards, this is a gem, and we would return in a heartbeat.

  Comments: Lovely, modern apartment in a beautiful doorman building....close to everything in Williamsburg. The view is truly spectacular, with a great rooftop deck where we enjoyed a bottle of wine our last night there. Easy communication with host...I'd definitely stay again!

  Comments: My family visited me over the Easter holiday and absolutely loved their stay here! Amazing location with super easy access to Manhattan & within walking distance to dozens of great coffee shops, brunch places & other restaurants, gorgeous views from the balcony and rooftop, and absolutely amazing customer service/communication with the owner. It was a place that truly felt like a home away from home for my family and you cannot put a price on that :) Would recommend this place to anyone!!

• Reviewer: Courtney

• Reviewer: Amy

  Comments: Everything about our stay was perfect. Kosmo's hospitality at checkin was welcoming. We really appreciated the introduction to the neighborhood and recommendations. The rooftop setting is perfect for taking in the panoramic views of the city while being private and intimate. The location overall is perfect for experiencing the city as a local.

• Reviewer: Steve

  Comments: Ester's place is awesome. Located just off Bedford Ave. with shops and restaurants all around. It's one subway stop to Manhattan. The closest station is just a few blocks away. The apartment is just like the pictures. Clean, new, modern with all the amenities you need. Our favorite thing was the patio and it's great view of the city. It was nice to relax there with a drink after walking all day. Co-host Kosmo is awesome. He met us in the apartment and went through check-in and gave us a tour of the place; including a trip to the roof for better view. He had tips and suggestions for local restaurants and shops. He also was very good about checking in and making sure all was well. I would definitely recommend staying here if you want enjoy Williamsburg.

• Reviewer: Stu

  Comments: I had an exceptional experience staying in Esther's place in Williamsburg. First and foremost, not to be overlooked, the communication and hospitality were first class. I arrived early and they wonderfully accommodated my luggage while the room was cleaned to free me to enjoy the city. The building itself is nested in a very appealing and cozy neighborhood, surrounded by amazing and diverse restaurants. The balcony was remarkable, with a wonderful view of the neighborhood and Manhattan, Empire State building and all. One pleasant surprise to me was how easy and welcoming it is to walk the very nearby pedestrian pathway on the Williamsburg Bridge to the lower East Side. This is my go to place in Brooklyn, and maybe all of New York. I look forward to the next visit.

The neighborhood is terrific, the apartment is well-appointed, the building is new and well maintained, and the welcome book, etc. made everything very easy. Ester is a wonderful host, and I would love to stay again.

• Reviewer: Joseph

  Comments: Esther and Kosmo are wonderful hosts. Very communicative, accommodating and hospitable. The apartment itself is also a joyful little spot - both the interior and the area itself. In short, if you stay here you won’t regret it.

• Reviewer: Graham

  Comments: Esther’s apartment is fantastic. It is in a great location in Williamsburg & has fantastic views over to Manhattan. The apartment is very comfortable & had everything we needed. We would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Williamsburg as it is very close to great cafes & shops.

• Reviewer: Kaitlin

  Comments: This is an amazing place to stay in Brooklyn or for anyone wanting to stay outside of the city! Close to many restaurants, shops and transit. The apartment itself is thoughtfully put together, clean and very welcoming. Hosts are helpful for anyone unfamiliar with the area, and are quick to respond to any questions. Enjoyed meeting Kosmo upon arrival, he really goes the extra mile to ensure you have the best stay! Over all highly recommend this space to anyone visiting New York, you won’t regret it :)

• Reviewer: Ben

  Comments: A beautiful place with a truly perfect view. Everything we could have wanted was at our finger tips. Entirely smooth and easy process. Kosmo was a real gentlemen, too, and made us feel like more than Airbnb guests. He was there anytime we needed and was flexible with our check-in/check-out as humanly possible. We felt like friends who were welcomed with open arms. Great bed, great kitchen, great building, and superb value. We loved our stay here and would return in a heartbeat. 5/5.

• Reviewer: Denise

  Comments: You will love this place. Well furnished with great amenities and a fantastic location. The hosts are very easy to communicate with and make sure you have a wonderful stay. You should definitely stay here.

• Reviewer: Lorrie

  Comments: Great location, easy to get into Manhattan and there is a lot to do if you want to stay in the neighborhood. The host was very accommodating and a great communicator. He met us and made sure we were comfortable. It is a beautiful apartment, very light, great view, and plenty of room. It is quiet too, which is not what I expect in the city. The kitchen is well equipped if you need a break from the fabulous area restaurants. No downsides! I couldn't come up with one, we loved the place.

• Reviewer: Deryck

  Comments: Esther's place was a beautiful and well-furnished base to explore Brooklyn and Manhattan while attending a friend's wedding in NYC. Bed was comfy, towels were soft, free Nespresso machine, great heat/AC, fast Wi-Fi, and amazing views off the balcony! Check in was super easy, and she was super responsive to all my messages - often a pain point with previous Airbnb stays. Highly recommend staying at her beautiful apartment!

• Reviewer: Juzzy

  Comments: My husband and I can’t rave enough about Esther’s place. We stayed for 9 nights for our honeymoon and would stay again in a heart beat. Kosmo was fantastic in meeting us on check in and provided great tips and recommendations for restaurants etc around the area. The apartment itself is clean and extremely comfortable. The apartment is in a secure building with a gym and laundry facilities which we used. The location of the apartment itself is incredible! Walking distance to both the L and M train to get into Manhattan. We would definitely recommend exploring all the bars, restaurants and shops around Bedford ave, driggs st and also berry street which are right near by. We would stay again in a heart beat

  Comments: This property was amazing. Very stylish with breathtaking views. The amenities where great!! I plan on coming back to NYC soon and will definitely make a reservation with this little gem!!

• Reviewer: Sona

  Comments: I can’t recommended this apartment more! The location is as good as it gets in Williamsburg, the amenities are fantastic and the hosts are so responsive and helpful. The living space is amazing, clean and extremely spacious for New York. You have crazy nice views of both Manhattan and Brooklyn (even access to the rooftop which is breathtaking). We will absolutely try to stay here again if possible next time!

• Reviewer: Caroline

  Comments: We stayed in late October with our 16 year old daughter and had a wonderful time. The apartment was well appointed with beautiful views - we didn't even draw the blinds as it was so wonderful to see the skyline at night/daybreak - and a rooftop from which to enjoy the panorama even more. The location was v handy between two subway lines and perfect to come back to after a day exploring Manhattan; a welcome haven away from the noise and bustle, with great restaurants and bars nearby. We loved Rabbithole, Egg, Diner, Maison Premiere, the Ides bar - and picking up snacks from Wholefoods. Fab area for vintage shops too. (If you love theatre, do try St Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn or the Punchdrunk show as alternatives to Broadway.) Kosmo was really helpful and kept in touch to see if we needed anything, which was hugely appreciated. It was just all so lovely with a capital L!

• Reviewer: Matt

  Comments: I’m a New Yorker transplanted to London temporarily so my opinion is coming from a place of knowledge. Put simply, stay here. It was spotless, comfortable, and the location is grade A. L train one stop from Manhattan and everything you could ever want within a 5 min walk of the front door.

• Reviewer: Tracy

  Comments: Lovely apartment, great location, and wonderful view!

• Reviewer: Manuel

  Comments: Really nice stay!

• Reviewer: Bailey

  Comments: BEST AIR BNB EVER!! Wow, this place was more than I was hoping for. Amazing views, surround sound Bluetooth speakers, huge bed, big windows, rooftop patio, modern features... this place has it all. The area was perfect, super chill but enough going on to feel like New York. Great coffee shops on and around the block, easy to find parking, and close walk to the waterfront. The value for this place is amazing, I will 10000% be coming back.

• Reviewer: Rigel

  Comments: Highly recommend! The apartment is really nice and comfortable with a beautiful terrace. There are wonderful views from the kitchen and rooftop. It's very clean, well maintained, bed was comfy, has all the amenities you need, and was very quiet at night. Location is great in Brooklyn, easy to walk to multiple Metro stations and tons to see and do within walking around Williamsburg. Kosmo was really helpful with check-in and the process was super simple. Will definitely stay here or at another of their properties again.

• Reviewer: Lore

  Comments: Highly recommended! Wonderful stay. Great fir local or international travelers. We had clear and continuous communication with host throughout. The apartment itself is absolutely gorgeous and comfortable. Perfect if you want a space to cook and watch the sunrise, sunset. The nights were completely quiet—unlike any nyc experience I expect with lots of traffic noise. Thank you for the magnificent stay and hope to return! Best wishes.

• Reviewer: John

  Comments: What a lovely, lovely home this was. Amazing location, great access to Williamsburg, one train stop to Manhattan. The balcony and entire apartment have an amazing view, there are nice touches like whole-home bluetooth. Check-in and out was convenient. We would absolutely, 100% stay here again. One last tip -- there are lots of great places to eat in Williamsburg, but we had a wonderful breakfast to-go from Pies n' Thighs just down the street, and a world-class steak dinner at St Anselm about six blocks away.
