We enjoyed ten lovely days at Peter's apartment in Green Point. A neighbourhood that was new to us, but that we have come to really appreciate, because of the nice combination of old industry, local flavour of the Polish neighbourhood and many new (hipster) places to get coffee or eat. Because of the Indian Summer we were able to have two BBQ's on the roof of the building, with beautiful 180 degree views of Manhattan. The apartment is really spacious and has a kitchen that allows for serious cooking. The apartment is on a floor with other artist-studios/apartments. Although the insulation and the wooden floors in the building are very old, the apartment itself is remarkably quiet. Also because you're on the top floor and the neighbours are very considerate. The East river (and the ferry) are just a few blocks away. Make sure you try the pastry at nearby Ovenly & do by all means commute by East River Ferry, the ride is beautiful.
