Conor's apartment is a very good place to stay, if you want to spend some time in New York. Located in the lovely Greenpoint neighborhood you are just a minute away from the G train, which gets you quickly to Manhattan, Queens and other parts of Brooklyn as well.
The apartment itself is quite basic, but offers everything you need, despite a hairdryer. Also so walls are thin, so keep in mind to take some earplugs with you. But come on, it's New York.
All in all I can recommend Conor's place!
