I spent 10 days in Leesa's brownstone and must say I really liked the place. It was clean, well presented, comfy and in a great location just a 5 minute walk to the subway. I returned home (a lone female) in the early hours of the morning on a few occasions and never felt unsafe.

Plenty of bedding / towels are provided. The cooking facilities are good. But, if you only want a cup of coffe before you go out exploring, then like me you will really appreciate the coffe machine, complete with loads of different types of coffee (and tea) pods. Not to mention the amount of food/drink that Leesa provides to 'start you off'. The only issues with the apartment were the weak wifi signal, weak shower spray and the broken air-con in the bedroom.

Leesa is a great host. She met me on arrival with less than 30 mins notice and checked in with me regularly to ensure everything was ok. In addition her mum and dad who live in the apartment below were really friendly and helpful. It was great knowing help was there if I needed it, and when I did, Leesa was really obliging. The flexible check-out was a great help too, meaning I didn't have to find somewhere to leave my bags/shower before leaving for the airport.

The area is great for shopping with 2 supermarkets (food) and number of high street shops (old navy, H&M, Gap, Marshalls etc all just a 10 minute walk away. I also noticed a number of restaurants and fast food chains McDs IHOP although I didn't eat locally.

This was my fifth time renting an NYC apartment and from a value for money viewpoint Leesa's was up there with the best of them. Next time I plan to stay in Harlem I will definitely be checking if it's available.

Thanks Leesa.
