Mel was responsive and helped us check in a few hours early, which was hugely appreciated. The place was super clean when we arrived, warm and plenty of space for our family. A quiet neighbourhood within walking distance of trains, shops, cafes, restaurants and all the amazing things Greenpoint and Williamsburg have to offer. Super easy to get to Manhattan too. Would highly recommend this location for those exploring New York and want to get away from the tourist traps! As an ex-New Yorker I was extremely happy with the location and apartment.
A couple of things to be aware of: the place is fairly sparse, which was fine for us as we have a toddler so less is more (honestly, so good, way less things to break), but not particularly cosy if that’s what you’re looking for. Drainage in the bathroom was slow (a bit gross with 4 adults and a toddler using it) and there’s some black mold growing around the shower.
