I stayed at Leigh's house for five days in the beggining of November 2012. Even with Hurricane Sandy messing things up, I had a very pleasant stay at Leigh's home. Room is exactly as described with a lot of privacy. Not even Diego, her nice dog, appears a lot downstairs! Bathroom has a good hot shower and Leigh provided a small and helpful heater. And she was very very helpful and understanding. I couldn't get to the city for the two initial days of my reservation and she refunded me, even without asking. That was nice! And because PATH trains weren't working, she helped me a lot with trasportation to NYC. We even took the ferry together! Thanks, Leigh! :)

Neighborhood is very nice and safe. Lots of restaurants and the convenients Starbucks, McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts... There is also a very nice shopping mall in walking distance - Newport Center - if you don't want to go to NYC every day during your stay.

I would definitely stay with Leigh again and I reccomend it for anyone who want's to visit NYC. Specially with working PATH trains... lol...
