This is my third stay with Jackie and Mattie. Besides what I've previously reviewed -
Jackie and Mattie are responsive and more than generous with checkout time. When I reached out in advance of this trip, they made this smaller room available for the dates I'd be in town. Much appreciated!
The apartment is on the first floor. Once you've walked up the steps to the building itself, you're done carrying your luggage. Phew!
I also love how safe the area feels; it's an oasis from the major tourists spots but it's still young and lively. The L train was under repair this weekend, so instead of taking the J or a taxi into Manhattan, I spent an entire day wandering around a few blocks radius eating amazing food, listening to live-music, and perusing vintage shops.
