This is my second time staying at Leo’s and both times it was perfect. It’s on the basement level in a relatively new building and is thus very quiet and peaceful for a place in Manhattan. Leo is an extremely communicative and efficient host and provides all that you need, with a basic kitchenette, excellent coffee machine, good heat, WiFi, good shower and cable tv. It’s in the far East Village so you’ll walk a bit farther to get to subway etc. but the neighborhood has all the amenities and restaurants you’ll need - anyway, walking is good for you and a great way to enjoy NYC! As long as Leo continues to host, we’ll do our best to stay here!
