The photos of this great duplex don't really prepare you for the wow factor when you first enter. This apartment looks like a film set put together with a particularly imaginative and artistic eye.

Comfortable, amazingly spacious, and wonderfully stocked with both essentials and thoughful extras, the apartment is exactly the kind of place you'd dream about living if you moved to hip Greenpoint. And with Maya as host, you get to do just that.

The location couldn't be better; with the Greenpoint stop just a short walk away, Manhattan and Brooklyn easily reached. And there are plenty of shops, coffee bars and restaurants around the corner in this very interesting neighborhood.

Maya was great to work with before and during my stay, and even allowed me a later check-out time to accommodate my bus departure.

This is definitely a one-of-a-kind place, and the perfect spot to feel like part of the Brooklyn scene. I'll definitely be back.
