Mario was a great host and the apartment was perfect. I stayed there for four days. The apartment is located in Brooklyn Heights, which is a very nice area itself, and is also an ideal starting point to explore Manhattan, as the Financial District is only two stops away.
The room is indeed huge and very clean. Everything is as described. Mario provides some cereals and tea and can recommend many places in New York City that tourist would usually not find on there travel guide books.
I enjoyed my stay at Mario's apartment and will definitely try to book it again once i visit New York again.
