Set just a quick ferry ride over from Manhattan, and with various subway stations nearby, the location of this Greenpoint apartment is spot-on. It's ideal for solo travellers or couples visiting the city, while the double sofa bed adds the option for a third or fourth guest (though we recommend the home for a maximum of two). The dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace and you'll find a fully-equipped kitchen that will make home cooking less of a chore. Of course, you'll also have plenty of great cafes, delis and restaurants nearby too. Best of all, the private balcony here serves as a lovely spot for enjoying an evening tipple.
