Great experience, exactly what we were after. The apartment is perfect as a base to go and explore. This part of Greenpoint hasn't yet changed into the madness that Williamsburg has become, yet there is a great collection of little places opening up. Great coffee, Thai food, polish food and no more than 20 minutes walk gets you to PS1/Moma. 25 minute walk in the other direction and you are in Williamsburg. Can be in mid-town in less than 25 minutes.
