Communication with Alisa and check-in/out went very smoothly. Alisa was very flexible with our check out time and even let our friend stay over for one night on the sofa. Alisa's apartment was exactly as in the pictures. We enjoyed staying in Greenpoint with lots of restaurant options for both breakfast and dinner. The closest metro line had some disruptions which caused minor delays in our travel times. If you don't mind walking 15-20 min., the L line was very convenient to access Manhattan. The only downside was that the radiator kept our bedroom a bit too warm at night. There was also some short-term construction work going on on the other side of the street which made us wake up rather early in the morning. However, overall, staying at Alisa's apartment was a very positive experience and good value for money.
