I finally got to “live” in Greenpoint, and it was awesome! This particular spot in the neighborhood is so hip and dense with amenities, you barely need to leave the square block. However, if you do, the G is a stone’s throw away. Ideal for a busy traveler.
The apartment is upgraded with modern fixtures, is well-stocked, and has a good blend of warmth and brightness. If you’re a light sleeper or distracted by noise, it may not be the best option, but then again, it’s New York, so this must be taken with a grain of salt. Marie was a sweet host and helped me on various points when needed. I will dog-ear this stay.
