I traveled with one of my best friends to NYC. Since we've already been to the city a few times before we wanted to ckeck out Brooklyn this time. Mateo's place was perfect for that. Communication was really quick and easy at all times. The neighborhood was authentic and alive. It was not touristic, which we loved. Nevertheless it was not scary or unsafe. We felt really comfortable. The subway station (going to Manhattan) and bus stations (going to Williamsburg) are just down the street and you'll find rentable citibikes within walking distance. We loved our favorite breakfast place "Stonefruit" one block away. After fun days in the city we loved coming back to the aprtment and felt right at home. It's nicely decorated, bright because of the large windows and well equipped. The bed was comfortable too. We would come back again and would recommend Mateo as a host too future guests.
