An original, beautiful and spacious loft with incredible views of Mahattan. Located in Greenpoint (which is mainly what I imagine old-school Brooklyn to be like, with some gentrification going on here and there) there is delis, bakeries, supermarkets and 24 hour laundromats nearby, interspersed with the occasional restaurant and hipster bar. It is easy to get to downtown Brooklyn or to Queens (buses or G subway line, Greenpoint Ave stop), and Manhattan is easily accessible. Still, the loft is wonderfully quiet (except maybe when the massive heater is firing up), and we could have spent our days never leaving this wonderful place.
