We had a wonderful stay at Jane and Sante's house in Greenpoint. Our hosts were welcoming and helpful – especially their two friendly dogs!

The apartment was very spacious and well lit and had a homey feel. Simply furnished with "real" furniture (not soulless IKEA stuff) and an amazingly comfortable bed. In the morning you could hear birds tweeting in the backyard and no traffic.

Greenpoint is a laid back but super interesting part of the city and the studio apartment located right in the centre of the neighbourhood. For us it was the perfect base for exploring the city.
