Alisa's place is a great launching point for Brooklyn and Greenpoint, and a quick hop to Manhattan. I was able to get from door to Javits in about 30 minutes. But the best parts of the place is Alisa's warmth as a host, and the "home" feel of her space. You get Brooklyn vibes mixed with creature comforts in one place. It's also just minutes away from the subway and the great life of Greenpoint.
