I highly recommend staying at Arin's place in Greenpoint. My husband and I stayed there right before New Years. The space itself is lovely with unique stylish touches, yet still cozy and comfortable. The location can't be beat - it's not even a block away from the subway as well as countless neighborhood cafes, restaurants and bars. If you are unfamiliar with Brooklyn, it's a good place to stay when visiting NYC as it's convenient via subway or car into the city. . Arin was very accessible and so friendly. I will definitely stay at her place during my next trip to NYC!
