Maria and Ricardo are the best hosts one could possibly imagine. Their hospitality exceeded our expectations by far. Even prior to the trip we were in touch to arrange for a smooth arrival. I was in touch with Maria to make arrangements for my parents who were coming to town for a week-long visit. From the moment they arrived to the moment they left everything was well organized and self-explanatory.
The room was spacious with lots of natural light and had just been newly renovated. Much like the the rest of the apartment it is a clean, inviting, quiet and tastefully furnished environment. I know that my parents were pleasantly surprised to have their private bathroom, and to find everything from wifi access to fresh towels, ready for them. Throughout their stay their interactions with M+R were very friendly and they were extremely forthcoming in every regard. Both of them sure know how to make a guest feel welcome.
The apartment itself is located in the heart of Bushwick which is a fantastic neighborhood in that it has a lot to offer in itself and in that the commute to Manhattan is very quick and easy. Bushwick itself is a hip and fun part of town with great restaurants and bars, and, yet, lots of streets including theirs are quiet and family-friendly. My parents had a great week and they'll definitely stay with M+R again on their next visit.
