Peters apartment is in Greenpoint which is around 40 minutes from Time Square via the subway or taxi also you can take the ferry which is around $3 for a single ride and is really convenient.
The apartment is in a very old building which is a little run down, this does add character and charm but is very rough around the edges. It was very clean and well equipped with stunning views of the city skyline. The lighting made for a great atmosphere, however, being an Electrician the electrics here did concern me.
The bathroom was also well equipped but the ceiling paint work seemed to be flaking down during our stay. The shower was generally warm apart from our last two days where it was a bit on the cold side and does drip over the side of the tub so a towel must be put down.
The heating is a very loud ceiling hung system which does generally heat the place up quite well, although we found we had to use the portable fan heater briefly in the bedroom, bare in mind it was -12’C most days.
Overall we very much enjoyed our stay and Peter was very communicative I would recommend this apartment but ideally in the summer would be more preferable.
Thanks
