Mateo's apartment is a very nice place to stay when you've got a lot of time to discover New York, because the apartment itself is located in Brooklyn. We stayed for 10 days in a party of four and it was manageable but a bit tight. The subway station is located directly the street down which is perfect to get to financial district in about 20 minutes. If you need to go way more uptown in Manhattan you might need about 45-60 minutes. The neighborhood around the apartment is totally safe. There are also some good places to eat dinner on Bedford Avenue (try the cuban restaurant 'Pilar'). The flat is very nicely decorated. It could've been slightly cleaner. The bathtub is a nice feature and the balcony adds flair aswell. Mateo was a great host and answered all our questions. He was very easy to communicate with. Check in and Check out went smoothly. Thanks for letting us stay here!
