We had an excellent stay at the house of Maya.
The apartment is old (electricity, plumbing, airco,.. ) but very charming. If you are allergic to that, you 'd better look for an alternative place. We liked the beautifull decoration, curiosities, lots of vintage furniture & other stuff, well-equipped kitchen and the large space (2 bathrooms, livingroom, kitchen). The airco in the bedroom and livingroom is okay to cool during the hot summer months. The mezzanine is quite hot. One shower and the washing machine were out of order.
Maya was very flexible about check-in and sleeping on the coach (the mezzanine was too small for two children of 15 and 17 years with this heat and our son being 1.90m)
Around the corner you have a laundry, supermarket, restaurants, Greenpoint subway (ferry Greenpoint is closed for the moment), citi bike point,....
Very quiet street to sleep. We slept in Manhattan before and that's very busy at night...
Thank you Maya!
