Jeanne's apartment is perfect if you want to be easily into the hustle and bustle of Manhattan but with the option of returning to a homely and relaxing base.

The apartment was more than big enough for the two of us, was beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, and had all the mod cons we needed. The kitchen was perfect for making our breakfasts before a day exploring, and the shower was great.

Greenpoint itself is a very nice neighbourhood from what we saw of it, and a nice contrast to other parts of NYC we visited. The apartment had easy access for both the G and 7 trains too which was helpful.

Our biggest tip would be to use the East River Ferry, $4 to Wall Street from India Street, and the perfect opportunity to cruise along the Manhattan front and under the Brooklyn Bridge.

We have had a fabulous time and would not hesitate to use the apartment again on a return to New York, nor to reccomend it to our friends and family.
