Leigh's place was fabulous in all aspects. The location is just a few steps away from Times Square which in turn puts you in easy access to all parts of New York via subway. His home is cozy, bright, comfortable and clean. We retrieved our key from a Keycafe a couple of blocks away which was super easy, as Leigh was out of town our first few nights at his place. When we met Leigh, I was blown away by his kind personality and willingness to share what it's like to live in the city. My brother and I are making the move in January and it's nice to hear about another Texas transplant's story! Leigh is super hospitable and a very easy person to stay with. The 5 floor walk up is the most challenging part of this space, but once you enter the apartment you quickly realize that every freaking stair was worth it. The best and worst part about staying here is the snack basket in the guest bedroom. Being a fatty at heart I LOVE snacks so ate most of them. Other than that there are several delicious and healthy 'real food' restaurants and grocery stores in the area to choose from! :-) At the end of this stay, I feel like we have gained a real friend and valuable connection in Leigh and I hope that he feels the same way about us!
