Maya was very accommodating! For guests who are familiar with the neighborhood, the apartment is ideally located; the location can't be beat. If you are not familiar with Greenpoint, I can't think of a better place to stay if you are looking to get better acquainted with our favorite neighborhood in Brooklyn and perhaps all of NYC. Maya's guidebook is spot on for recommendations. I would add: Achilles Heel for drinks/dinner, Early for coffee/breakfast and Habitat for beer/wings.
