What was once a cork factory has since been renovated into industrial-style apartments to reveal its original and unique characteristics. Situated in Greenpoint Brooklyn, it seems fitting to highlight the stripped wooden beams and brick walls in this loft. We particularly loved the trendy bare-bones pendant lighting in the bedroom and the exposed sprinkler pipes in the sleep loft. A dedicated desk space is a welcome addition for those visiting on business but also doubles as a place to plan your daily itinerary if you’re visiting for pleasure. Your neighbourhood offers old-school community vibes with an emerging creative scene. You’ll find pizza joints, delis, coffee houses and bars all within a twenty-minute walk. Hop in a cab for less than ten minutes to watch the sunset over Manhattan’s iconic skyline at Newton Barge Park. To venture into the concrete jungle, it’s a thirty-minute trip via subway to Lower Manhattan.

Home truths
There is a sleep loft above the living area – the ceiling is very low so it would be more suited to older children
A sofa bed in the living space can be used as an alternative to the sleep loft – just let your host know your preference when booking
The laundry facilities are communal and are located in the building’s basement
Guests will climb three flights of stairs to reach the home – this may be difficult for those with limited mobility
The shower is a bit unconventional, you have to step up into it
Your host can arrange tickets to events, gym passes, a private chef, a massage and provide babysitting recommendations – please enquire when booking
