Michael was a great host. The apartment is located in the heart of the action. Had we realized this we would have chosen to stay slightly further away but the place is extremely convenient. If you want to stay in the heart of Greenpoint you can't beat this place. Michael was super friendly and even offered to go to the pharmacy to get my boyfriend medicine when he noticed he was sick upon check-in. I highly recommend his guidebook; he also gave us additional recommendations and was very reachable.
