A stylish, modern space that couldn't feel more New York! We loved staying in Greenpoint. There are heaps of great coffee shops (try Champion Coffee just 5mins walk from the apartments), lots of supermarkets and some really great places to eat (Jungle Cafe is close by with delicious vegan food on offer). The apartment we stayed in was lovely. Cosy, comfortable and quiet. Perfect.
You can connect onto line G with ease from Greenpoint Ave, with a change at Court Sq you can get to just about anywhere.
My only small criticism would be that the cleaning staff were perhaps too efficient. It sounds odd but there were little things like I would hand wash our bowls and coffee mugs from breakfast and leave them out to dry and come back to them having been run through the dishwasher, which feels a little wasteful. There was some ground coffee left for the machine (about 2/3days worth) which would be removed and replaced after just 1 day even though there was plenty left. Towels were also replaced every day. It's such a small thing, but it would be good to give your guests the option to be more environmentally conscious. Not a bad criticism at all, more of a suggestion.
