My wife and I spent a week at Zach's place. It's a fairly new and modern condo. Easy access in and out. There was a little street noise - not too bad, but it's Brooklyn. The place is packed with amenities, it's very livable and pretty comfortable. Coffee makers (drip or press), gas range, ice maker, dishwasher and a washer/dryer. Nice shower. Comfortable bed and couch. Really quite pleasant. Easy to control the temperature. Didn't get to meet Zach but he made everything very easy for us. We'd be happy to stay there again. Makes me wish I owned a place like that! The locale in lower Greenpoint is within 2 blocks of a great many restaurants, cocktail bars and bodegas. Half of a block to the train. Easy walk to Williamsburg, too.
