Read before booking! I had a 5-star experience, but this stay is not for everyone. Rose has lived in NY her whole life and is a true, contributing member of the Greenpoint community. She WILL greet you in-person, because it’s important to her to make a human connection and answer any questions you may have face-to-face. Rose will leave you alone if you wish, but I recommend you at least sit with her once for tea. This is the old-school Airbnb, and I mean it in the best way.
