Lesli is the perfect host. She communicates well, is there for you when you need her and keeps her place immaculately clean. Having a fridge in the room stocked with bottled water was great since we were there during a heatwave. Just be aware her location is not on a subway line, so if you are going to use public transport you will have to use the bus and subway to get into Manhattan and the busses arent always 100 percent dependable. That being said, you can generally get to wherever you want to go in no more than an hour. We felt very safe in her neighborhood of Maspeth, even coming home close to midnight two or three times. Gracias Lesli!
