Ryan's place was perfect for the two of us: a quiet apartment, comfortable bed, stocked kitchen and bathroom, with all the necessities, and a great location. There is a subway station very nearby (Greenpoint and Manhattan). Manhattan Ave. has coffee, bagels, and pastries + --it is a neighborhood main street, Brooklyn style. Right on the block, there are a couple of restaurants that seem really popular. We ate at Paulie Gee's, some of the BEST NY pizza in the city.
Ryan was very responsive and a wonderful host! We highly recommend his place and hope to stay again sometime!
