The space and views of Manhattan are great, as is the local Greenpoint area with its fantastic Polish delis, restaurants, bars and Peter Pan donuts. Its only a short subway ride to Manhattan and we were glad we'd stayed in Greenpoint, its close to the city but much quieter.
The loft is on the top floor of an old warehouse building, full of adhoc DIY renovations. Peter has gone to a lot of trouble to make this rough old loft into an oasis full of character. Creaky floors and thin walls are part of its charm, but its also very spacious for NYC. The loft is very clean, including fresh white linens and toiletries. The kitchen is well equipped and is great if you like to self cater. The bedroom is cosy and quiet (as long as the neighbours don't have guests), we slept very well most of the time.
This is a great place to stay if you want easy access to the city, but also want to experience some of the best of north Brooklyn. The location between Manhattan Ave and Franklin St Greenpoint is perfect.
