We stayed in Peters loft for a little over a week. This was probably the best Airbnb experience I have had. Peter was very prompt in responding to our request and the booking process was simple and very clear. Peter was always easy to communicate with before and during the stay, and provided allot of guidance with the loft and checking in and out. He checked in with us to make sure all was well.
The loft is a beautiful open space which maintains a cosy feel. The many plants, books and paintings make this loft a wonderful place to start your day, and one to recharge as needed. The space had a wonderful creative energy about it. It is truly what one would envision an old loft conversion being like. The kitchen and bathroom were also well furnished with everything you could need for your stay. The living room and bedroom were very cosy, and we always had a good quiet sleep. The views from the windows of the loft are very beautiful, especially at night when you can see a large expanse of Manhattan lit up. The roof views are also breathtaking. The cleanliness of the loft was also excellent.
The building itself is also very charming, especially for those who enjoy a more urban or industrial feel. The floor that the loft is on is occupied by others artists and workshops, and is very quiet yet friendly.
The neighbourhood is filled with excellent, independent places to grab a coffee or a drink, and there are several interesting restaurants around. I found Greenpoint to be quieter and less busy than neighbouring Williamsburg, but maintained an independent and charming feel. We really loved the neighbourhood, and found transport into other parts of Brooklyn, Long Island City and Manhattan very easy. The station is a quick walk from the loft. There are several grocers on the area, out favourite of which was The Garden Food Market.
Overall, this was a wonderful stay and I hope to come visit again. Highly recommended!!
