Vanessa is a very welcoming and gracious host, and the apartment is spacious and well-located on a quiet street in Greenpoint. However, I didn't have a good experience on my three nights in December because there was no heat in the apartment. The building heat was off and there was no space heater or anything. The common areas felt a bit warmer but the room itself was absolutely freezing. It was difficult to sleep as the temperature outside was in the high 30s at night, especially on the second two nights. I don't recommend staying here unless it's in the summer months (there is an air conditioner) or you are assured the heat is working.
