I enjoyed my stay at Leah's place. She made it easy to enter the house and was instantly available whenever I needed to contact her. The room is at the top of a flight of stairs, was nicely furnished with a single bed, desk and bureau, and had comfortable heat and a window AC. Unfortunately, there was a plumbing emergency shortly after I arrived, and the water had to be shut off for several hours. Leah made it a priority to communicate with me about this, and she gave me a partial refund to compensate, which I had not asked for. Her family had their own things to do, so there was not a lot of interaction about touristy stuff, but I know the area and didn't need help. The house is right on a bus route and is a half mile from the subway station where there are some restaurants and stores. It's a nice residential neighborhood and I enjoyed walking to the house near midnight as well as during the day. I'd be happy to stay there again.
