I don't know if you can find a better Greenpoint location than Maya's apartment. Easy to find. Easy to get to the G Train. Soooo many walkable bars and restaurants - you'll find something wonderful by walking in pretty much any direction!!!
Maya's apartment was stylish, clean and well-appointed. I loved the little touches (condiments in the fridge, magazines to read, umbrellas on the door), plenty of toiletries in case you forgot something). The bedroom was cool and dark and quiet, the shower was AMAZING (the true measure of any vacation rental is the shower, right?), and Maya provided the biggest towels I have ever seen in my life. We enjoyed our stay, and loved Maya's recommendations for bars and restaurants.
One thing to note - the bedroom in this apartment is at the bottom of a very tight, spiral staircase. On the upside, it's a garden-level bedroom! So it's quiet and dark, and makes for great sleeping. On the downside, you have to navigate a very tight spiral staircase to get there (or to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night). We both left our suitcases upstairs by the bathroom, but it would be a challenge to carry your stuff up and down. It would also be a challenge if you have limited mobility or are inclined to hit up the bars in the evening.
Another note - a couple other reviewers noted a strong mildew-y smell downstairs, and I was a little worried. I'm very sensitive to mold and mildew so I was worried about that . . . especially in a bedroom. But it wasn't an issue at all.
Overall, great stay. Wonderful host with really good communication. If and when I'm back in Brooklyn, I'll seek Maya out again.
