Leo was a friendly host who always responded to our messages and checked in that we were ok!
The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was quite roomy and the fridge came in useful for storing leftover food and keeping our water cool.
The East Village is an awesome area, close to amazing food (some places were recommended by Leo) and entertainment, such as burlesque shows and comedy clubs.
The apartment was near subway stations, meaning it was only about half an hour's journey to midtown and many of the amazing sights New York has to offer.
