What a great spot! My husband was recently diagnosed with Celiac so we wanted a place with a kitchen so he could safely eat meals (plus sometimes, you just want a light, quick meal while you're on vacation, without having to find a restaurant). Luis' Brooklyn kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed AND more. It's also super spacious and has a private courtyard. It's a short walk to the subway (~8 mins or so) and you'll get to Manhattan in about 30 mins. We had thought that we might need to drop our bags off earlier than check-in time and Luis said that wouldn't be an issue (though we ended up checking in later in the evening). Check-in itself was smooth (self-check-in) and Luis was super quick to respond to any inquiries we had. He told us ahead of time that he had kids (he and his family live upstairs) but not once was there an issue with noise. There were towels available plus any extra items you might need (like hairdryer and shampoo) though we didn't end up using those. All in all, a great stay!
