Mateo was super friendly right from the start. He was very communicative about everything and very accommodating. He met us at the apartment and showed us around. His place is great, very light, clean, feels really welcoming. The area is great, and the subway is literally a few hundred yards on the same block, and you can get to manhattan in 20 minutes or less! There are tons of restaurants and coffee shops around, but if you prefer you can have a coffee on the terrace in the apartment!
It was great because the apartment is on the back of the building so it was very quiet and we got such an amazing night's sleep in Mateo's huge bed!
Bed-Stuy is a really fun area to explore, and a great place to stay in New York!
