This was my first stay with airbnb and I cannot imagine that it could have been any better. Alex is a wonderful host, gracious, truly friendly and warm who interacts with you as a friend while respecting your privacy in his own home. The apartment is very nicely furnished, very clean, and the bed is quite comfortable. Located in an area of Greenpoint that is just now under new development, the apartment is near numerous coffee shops, bars and restaurants and a short walk to two different subways that allow you to get into Manhattan in less than 30 minutes door-to-door. There's really not anything bad to say about it. Even his girlfriend is nice.
