Leandro is a wonderful host! He responded to my messages rapidly and alway friendly. His roommate Lilian is also friendly and nice! This place is well decorated and with all facilities that a short stay for half month need. The bedroom is exactly like how it look on the website. And it smells good! The shared bathroom is always clean and well maintained. R island honestly is a bit isolated from Manhattan since the F train is not always on time, however, it is a quiet neighborhood to live in and enjoy some good rest.
