I fell in love with Alina's apartment the instant I entered it. It is just the place where you want to stay for a trip to explore and discover New York and that great area of Brooklyn, which I really loved.
Alina had made sure that I find everything I needed and left notes with helpful advice in her apartment. The apartment offers anything you would need and the bed was extremely comfortable.
The apartment is located in Greenpoint, the - as I was told - new hip neighbourhood in New York. Which I found it was. It is relaxed enough to wind down, but offers many nice bars, restaurants and cafés, as well as a beautiful park, to enjoy life to the fullest. Metro stations are in walking distance.
Throughout my entire stay, Alina was available to give advice whenever I needed it.
I will definitely try to stay with her again when I come back to New York next time and recomment staying at Alina's place to everybody who wants to explore New York beyond the Manhattan tourist attractions.
