Maya wasn't able to meet us but she sent me detailed arrangements about the keys, and it all worked well. The apartment was very much as pictured, and was a really nice place to stay. Maya was responsive to text messages and we were able to sort out minor problems.

If there are more than two guests, the sleeping arrangements do require a bit of climbing - but we managed! Greenpoint is a really nice area, and we found good places to eat, buy bagels and that sort of thing. We did go in to Manhattan quite a bit - opera, jazz, galleries etc and while the journey was OK, Greenpoint is a little tricky journey wise.

Overall, we all enjoyed our holiday, and it was interesting to stay Brooklyn - some great restaurants and bars, and a bit more 'real' than Manhattan.
