My twin sister and I spent a week at Mario's. Finding an Airbnb with 2 beds limited our options and we were glad to find Mario's place in Brooklyn Heights. Mario's place is in a GREAT location. Can walk to the Brooklyn Bridge and lots of coffee shops and restaurants within a few blocks. Various subway stops within walking distance.
The nicely functional elevator for his 5th floor apartment was much appreciated. Room and apartment was very clean. Bedding was good and beds were fine. Nice to have two separate closets to hang clothes. Kitchen was accessible and there was ample room to store food in fridge. Mario was a clear communicator about the apartment specifications and neighborhood, but he was not interested in our doings and he mostly stayed in his room except to update us on the Wifi story. Mario tried hard, but without success to get Wifi. We are seniors and we did not stay out real late. Without Wifi, comfortable chairs, or a TV, we found we did not much look forward to evenings in our room.
Wifi was out during our week-long trip. This was a big problem for us, as we couldn't make some necessary plans or relax with Netflix.
The room is spartan. There is one night table at one of the beds and one folding chair in the room. Mario let us put a few folding kitchen chairs in the bedroom for our suitcases and dressing. Staying for a week, we found we tired of always lying on the beds. We wished for a living room or a room with comfie chairs, or a hotel with a lobby.
I think with Wifi fixed, the place is fine for a couple of nights or for people who spend long nights in the city and want a comfortable bed to sleep and a kitchen to make breakfast . Again, we loved the location, and we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge many times, as part of our Manhattan commute.
