I stayed for almost two months at Runn's place. Runn was there at my arrival, he greeted me and showed me my room and the apartment and explained to me a few things. He was very nice and welcoming. He was not there most of the time (he was outside NY travelling) but he kept constantly in touch and kept checking with me to make sure I had everything I needed and to answer any of my questions. The room is a nice size room, with a good size closet (I was there almost two months, so I had lots of clothes with me). The view from the room is stunning, you can view Manhattan and at night it is very nice to see all the lights. The bed is comfortable and I slept quite well. The kitchen is very large and you can eat in it, it has a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, all in good working conditions. There is also a nice pantry to store your food. And then there is the neighbourhood. As Runn says, Greenpoint is really charming. It is in an old Polish neighbourhood, very charming, with lots of restaurants and pubs at nights, and good cafés during the day. If you like to cook, there is a nice grocery store right at the corner, and a couple of very good large organic stores just a block away on Manhattan Avenue. Until late fall there is also a corner fruit and vegetable truck. In addition, there is also a laundromat on the other corner of the building, on Franklyn Avenue. Finally, the place is just 15 minutes from Manhattan, but I found myself staying in this neighbourhood a lot, being so beautiful. If you walk south towards Nassau you end up in Williamsburg which is another charming neighbourhood. Should I stay in Brooklyn again, I will definitively stay at Runn's place again.
