What a wonderful place! My partner and I spent five nights in Mateo's home. It's well appointed, cozy, and comfortable. We loved having coffee on the balcony.
The area where Mateo's home is located (a few blocks from where I grew up!) is lovely as well. Tons of bars, a fantastic ramen spot (Samauri Papa --- do yourself a favor and get there!), a gourmet donut spot (Dough!), a liquor store, and a dunkin donuts for quick bites as well. We had no trouble getting to downtown brooklyn via the G and then to Manhattan.
Check in was a breeze and Mateo sent detailed instructions on getting into his home. I would definitely recommend!
