Between the Brownstones

Between the Brownstones: New York

Situated on a quiet residential street in Williamsburg, where upscale shopping, casual cafes and hip restaurants all vie for your attention, you're likely to forget that this peaceful spot far removed from the tourists and crowds, is in fact, ten minutes away from the bustle of Downtown NYC on the subway.

With the waterfront Domino Park and the conveniently located Bedford L stop nearby, plenty of indie boutiques and lively bars right on your doorstep, and Bedford's shops only a three-minute stroll away, you're perfectly positioned to enjoy Brooklyn. Plus, the vibrant melting pot that is Lower Manhattan – Greenwich Village, Tribeca and the Financial District are easily reachable from this desired location.

Curated by a creative host with a home-like approach to her apartment, you’ll immediately notice the artistic touch that’s been given to this bright space – from the zebra-print rug to the designer dining table, teeming bookshelves and beautiful pieces of modern art. Sky-high ceilings and tall casement-style windows create a bright and airy living space, giving you a great view of the tree-lined streets below.

We particularly love the smart open-plan set-up, which allows you to pull up a chair at the island and perch with your morning coffee, hashing out an itinerary as breakfast cooks away in the designer kitchen, or perhaps you'll start the day with a gentle read in the comfort of the leather sofas. But, don't stay inside too long, there's plenty to see and do all around.

*There's a local school on the next block, so you may hear some noise as school begins and ends on weekdays
