Leigh was amazing! I was in town for a conference, and initially chose this spot because it was close to the meeting location. I got in town in the late evening, but I was able to pick up a key from a nearby KeyCafe, which made check-in very easy and required little back-and-forth planning.
There are no elevators in Leigh's apartment building (it's a walkup), and the stairs can be a little steep, but should be manageable for the able-bodied. The apartment is also a close walk to Times Square and some great eating places in Hell's Kitchen.
Leigh is a very warm and charming host, and he was more than happy to tell me more about his beautiful apartment. What I loved most was that he treated me like a friend, not just someone who crashed in a spare bedroom for a few nights.
