We spent five nights at Greg's place and had a wonderful time. The apartment is beautifully appointed, and it was a lovely spot to call home for a few days. It had everything we needed, and communication with the host was clear and easy. The g train is less than ideal if you plan to be exploring manhattan during your stay, which meant more Lyfts and cabs for us than anticipated, but we loved the Greenpoint neighborhood and found it to be a worthwhile trade off. We had a great time walking around the neighborhood, enjoying the views by the water, and stopping by local coffee shops and bars. It's also not a far walk from Williamsburg. We highly recommend the Pencil Factory on the corner - nice, low key bar with outdoor seating - exactly the bar I wish I had down the street in my real, non-vacation life. We also loved the breakfast sandwiches at littleneck outpost around the corner. Highly recommend and would happily stay again.
