Best feature: Who doesn’t love big, bright, sunny windows? And this Greenpoint 2BR has plenty of them, which bounce the light off of handsome hardwood floors.

Biggest drawback: There is no floor plan on the listing, so it’s hard to tell exactly how this Greenpoint 2BR is laid out. It’s unclear whether the room with the fireplace is a shared living room, or one of the two bedrooms. In addition, the neighborhood does not have great subway access. It’s more than half a mile to the nearest G train stop, and nearly.
