This was my first airbnb experience and with Matt's help, it went extremely smooth. Matt was very accommodating prior to the visit, working with me on my arrival times etc. On the day of, we coordinated the key pick up via text and Matt was there at the apartment when we arrived via Uber from LGA. He gave my family and I (2 adults, 2 kids) the overview before leaving and left us two sets of keys. Really relieved any apprehension we might have had.

The apartment itself was exactly as presented in the pictures. Very clean. Cool upstairs and awesome deck. Matt had an extra quick inflate air mattress that one of my daughters decided to sleep on instead of the couches on the main level. Left us plenty of shampoo, soap, towels etc.

The neighborhood is nice - it felt very comfortable - with convenient access to the subway (10 minute walk) and there, a direct line into Manhattan. Pretty much exactly as described in the overview and other reviews. Plenty of restaurants around within a short walk. We especially liked the Fortunato Brothers Cafe for desserts (289 Manhattan Ave).

I would highly recommend the property (with the caveat that you must be able to do steps).

Thanks again, Matt!
