Leo's place is clean and quite private. We've stayed in various Air BnB's in the area and found this one among the quietest for sleeping, which is saying quite a lot for a NYC apartment. As a host Leo is polite and communicative and gives his guests the space they need to relax and feel comfortable. He is thoughtful enough to divide the space into two areas with separate beds if needed for privacy between two guests travelling together. He also provides a couple of days worth of drinking water which is much appreciated and much needed if you were to forget to bring your own and need to make it to the store for beverages to fill the small refrigerator that is provided. There is also a microwave available to use though Leo makes it very clear that his place is not equipped for cooking which is very good to know, particularly when there is an 4-night stay minimum and eating out every night in the city is very pricey. Even the grocery stores will price gouge the britches off you so if possible bring lots of snacks. There is a cupboard full of dishes to use but there is only one sink....in the bathroom....with a small bottle of Ajax on the edge....so I would assume that is where they have been "cleaned" which personally strikes me as distrubing and unsanitary so maybe bring your own dishes or stick with the paper plates that Leo is also considerate enough to provide. After reading previous reviews and the responses provided to some of those reviews by Leo, I am assuming this is where our host is going to forget all of the pros I have previously listed and give full focus to the following cons. Some may shy away from rocking the boat but this is an honest review intended to disclose useful information for future guests, not just to pat the "super" host on the back at the peril of the uninformed, so bring on the snarky all-caps retort if you must, sir, this review is here for the people. The place is clean but it does lack the luster and charm that other Air BnB's provide with some odd cosmetic repairs and interior design choices but that is for the individual to judge. Be sure to locate the "floor towel" somewhere among the bathroom towels and use it because the tile in the bathroom as well as throughout the entire apartment is very slippery and there are no rugs. We were also unable to get the patio door to fully lock during our stay regardless of the "jiggle" technique we were shown during check-in. The parking is crucial to be aware of. Parking near this Air BnB is not only horrendous it is impossible. That is obviously in no way any fault or within control of the host by any means. However, don't bother asking Leo for any insight on the matter as he expresses a very *you're on you're own* attitude. Anywhere else that may be okay but if you have ever visited NYC you know that it is like trying to solve a labyrinth that changes several times a day. If you try to look it up online to understand you are referred to the government twitter account to track the changes. Under normal circumstances we would just park our vehicle and utilize public transportation but that wasn't possible for us this time and we ended up with a couple of parking tickets upward of $115 each having followed the signage perfectly but not knowing about a permit that was required for those particular streets. I sent Leo a message asking for help: "I fear that we could try our best to be aware of all of the parking rules as we had tried to last night and end up making more mistakes. Could you please provide any insight you have to help us to avoid accumulating more fines during our stay?" I also asked if I could politely suggest posting any information he could on the bulletin board for future guests (where he lists a couple of grocery stores and clubs in the area as an fyi) as it would be very helpful for those who have never experienced anything like this before. He gave a slight explanation and curtly stated he had already told us this the night before (although he hadn't) and deflected any blame (although we hadn't blamed him at all). Needless to say Leo doesn't care for criticism or polite suggestions. All in all, some very good, some bad, some ugly. If you must drive, do your research - and may the odds be ever in your favor!
