This Brooklyn home is certainly one of the most unique in our collection. From the industrial bones to the live aquariums and the vintage mannequins and collectibles, everything about this lofted space speaks for itself. Not for the minimalist at heart, this home guarantees to be a one-of-a-kind experience that still caters to total comfort, with a plush sofa, sumptuous bed and outfitted kitchen. We especially love the fish tanks that your host so lovingly tends to – the neon colors add excitement and beauty to even the quietest of nights in. Right outside your doorstep, you’ll find the bustle of East Williamsburg. You’re just a five-minute walk from the lauded pizza restaurant Roberta’s and near plenty of excellent thrift shops, delicious cafes and lively bars. Walk around and admire the street art, new pop-ups and people-watching. Or, to reach Manhattan, simply jump on the train for ten minutes and explore a whole new borough.

About East Williamsburg
East Williamsburg might not yet be as gentrified as Williamsburg proper - it still retains a grittier, more industrial feel - but the sense of change here is palpable. Buildings splashed with vibrant grafitti art stand alongside factories that make everything from plastic bags to wontons and tortillas. This is not the Brooklyn of leafy streets lined with brownstone homes. Roberta's pizzeria was a force of transformation when it opened...
