The place is exactly as large as it looks, spacious loft with great light from the skylight in the morning. No windows though, which isn't ideal but also not a dealbreaker for me. I had a few communication issues with El as he was out of the country when I arrived, but those were quickly sorted out.

I've stayed in Greenpoint many times before so I'm very familiar with the neighborhood. It's very nice and pretty quiet compared to a lot of other areas, tons of great bars, cafes, restaurants, etc. Not the easiest transit-wise, but perfect if you don't need to go into the city too much.

All in all I had a great stay at El's place, no complaints.
