Maria and Ricardo are very welcoming couple, I collected me key from them, showed around, then left in my own.
I'm born and raised in Brooklyn, I needed a place to stay as I've since moved. Their home is a duplex apartment; the room I stayed in was on the main floor with access to the backyard. There is another room on the otherside of the apartment, which is also for rent. I barely heard that person and felt safe and secure.
Maria and Ricardo reside in the lower level of the duplex.
The weather wasn't great to enjoy the back, but I did peek out. The room had its own bathroom. Everything was clean and orderly, the picture depicts the room exactly.
The parking situation can be a bit difficult, it is NYC; I circled a few times, but was able to find after a short time.
I was able to walk to a restaurant to grab a quick bite to eat, The Wheelhouse great space and Wednesday nights are trivia! Lots of fun. I also checked out a bar, Starr.. another great space. Both venues had the neighborhood feel where you could see staff engaging with customers with ease.
All in all, I had a great evening at Maria and Ricardo's and would stay again.
