Look no further, this is the one. I stayed here for two weeks while apartment hunting and loved coming back here as a home base.
The home: Stephanie's home is beautiful and spacious. It has high ceilings, massive windows, and a well-equipped kitchen. The primary bed is comfortable, and there's a second bed in the loft area. Though there isn't laundry onsite, there's a laundromat with dropoff/pickup service a block away. Stephanie was a fantastic host and went above-and-beyond to make sure I had a comfortable stay.
The neighborhood: Greenpoint is a lovely neighborhood, and this home is located right on Manhattan Ave, with tons of restaurants and bars in the immediate area. It's also on the same block as the G train, allowing you to get anywhere.
