This is a truly unique, special space. As Painter says in his blurb, it is a real working artist's loft - not the Disneyland version, so it has a quirkyness about it and may not be for everyone, but for us it was perfect. Huge space - maybe 1200 sf? Million dollar view of the Manhattan skyline through 5 large windows - Empire State Bldg, Chrysler Building, etc. A quiet oasis, with lovely green trees and birds, which you can hear when you open the windows to let a fresh breeze in. Well stocked kitchen, beautiful big dining table to spread out work and enjoy meals looking at the view. Comfortable bed and additional heavy duty, automatically inflating air mattress. The 3 floor walk-up is a challenge, but do-able if you are prepared for it, and everyone in the building couldn't have been nicer. That goes for the neighborhood too! Friendly, helpful people everywhere. The Greenpoint Natural Food market around the corner is exceptional with everything you could need , and the restaurants we tried were all great. Sweet Leaf coffee shop around the corner is also a great place to hang out. One of my concerns in renting the space, not knowing Brooklyn well, was that it would be difficult to get back and forth to Manhattan, but it is so easy! Only a short 3 block walk to the subway station from which you can access Manhattan in about 35 min.
I couldn't recommend this place more highly. One of my best Airbnb experiences so far.
