My friend and I had a great time living in Lauren's apartment this summer. Renting long-term was super easy, and communication with Lauren was great. She was very welcoming and responded to all of our questions promptly.
The apartment is tiny, but its location in the Greenpoint neighborhood made it totally worth it. Greenpoint is wonderful, a great mix of families, old folks, cute bars and restaurants, and Polish bakeries. Ultra convenient to catch the G and 7 trains.
My only real concern with the apartment was the lack to air conditioning. There is a window unit in one room, but it did not do much to battle the sweltering New York summer heat. In order to cool down at night, we kept the windows open, but due to the proximity of the Pulaski Bridge, the traffic was very noisy. Besides that the apartment was fully outfitted to meet all of our needs. Lauren has a fantastic book collection. Also, it was wonderful to have access to the roof, which boasted an incredible view of Manhattan.
We are certainly going to miss this place.
