There´s a Weber charcoal grill both on our private balcony and on the roof. We have built a rooftop-garden with lots of fresh herbs, chilies and tomatoes and much more. Perfect to pick for a nice summer meal! Of course free for you to use.

We will provide you our up to date tip-list of things to do and places to go, and are always available online for any questions or inquiries you may have.
Once called the “garden spot of Brooklyn”, Greenpoint is the northernmost neighborhood in Brooklyn, and this hangout truly has it all. It is very friendly and quiet, continuously growing with a lot of new shops, boutiques, cafés, bars, vinyl stores, restaurants, a great wine store (Dandelion Wine), traditional polish bakeries and the great Garden Organic Food Market, along with regular grocery stores, coffee shops and pharmacies.
Guests must be clean, quiet and respectful. No additional guests without first discussing it with us. No smoking inside and no pets. We ask that you clean up after yourself on the roof-deck, as it is shared with two other apartments in the building. Turn off all lights and AC when not in use. Keep TV and music volume at a reasonable level. And lastly, make yourself at home and enjoy our apartment and neighborhood!
We divide our time between Norway and New York, and this is our second home. We love this place, and rent out to people who are respectful and take care when we are not there ourselves.
