Maya was great at communicating, she wasn't able to meet us but gave helpful instructions to get there and get in, and has a comprehensive map of local eateries on the fridge (there are lots).

The apartment is in an excellent location in Greenpoint and very spacious. Upstairs is very light and fresh, no TV but a stocked kitchen. We couldn't find the iron (which we were desperate for as we'd flown in to take part in our friends' wedding), but Maya quickly brought one over within 24 hrs.

Downstairs is the bedroom - the staircase is quite a tight winding one but gives a great contemporary look - and there's plenty of space in the bedroom. We could smell damp which Maya had left a note saying was due to a lot of recent rain, but there was a good dehumidifier which she'd asked us to leave on through the daytimes and helped reduce the humidity a lot.

Overall, a pleasant stay in a great location with a helpful host.
