My friends and I stayed at Leonardo's house for a month. It was great. Everything seemed so close and walkable. Great restaurants and a few bars around but it was useful to have a laundry shop and a bodega right next door. The rooms were spacious although the beds were not as comfortable as they could have been I got used to it pretty quickly and was able to get some good rest.
I cannot stress how walkable this area was and safe as well. We walked all about and never felt unsafe in the neighborhood.
Leonardo and his partner made me dinner at the end of my trip and it was awesome! It was great talking with them about current affairs and just being able to meet really interesting folks
There was some construction during the time that we stayed there that started early in the day and went till around 6 every day. This was obviously out of their control and I do not fault them for this. It seems like it might be finishing up soon so hopefully your stay will be a bit quieter than mine
