This apartment in Greenpoint is perfectly located. I drove up to NY and didn’t arrive until midnight. Fortunately there is a garage open to the public about 1-2 blocks away that’s quite affordable. When I was walk around late at night, I felt incredibly safe.
I was able to catch the subway easily into the city multiple times, but it was wonderful to come back to a neighborhood that was so clean, friendly, and welcoming. Within Greenpoint itself there are tons of great places to eat. I recommend Alula for coffee/croissants and Madre for dinner.
J was an incredible, communicative, and kind host. He checked in with me multiple times to ensure all my questions were answered, encouraged me to feel at home during my long stay, and had no issues with me bringing my dog. He’s also an incredible musician, if you’re fortunate enough to hear him play.
The apartment is beautiful, as is the back yard, and I wish that I had remembered to go up to the rooftop deck. Definitely recommend this place if you’re able to snag it!
