Leslie communicated well via text and when we were arrived were met by John, who had southern charm with a New York flair. Such a nice couple.

We stayed for 5 days and enjoyed it very much. The room is just as pictured. Comfortable, and warm. Had its own thermostat so you could keep the room as cool, or warm as you like. Windows look out onto the road (front facing) which is also very night. So much natural light coming in through the windows. The room has a nice flat screen tv should you be so inclined as well.

Leslie provided shampoo and conditioner,which I thought was nice, but topped all that off with other niceties like cotton balls, q-tips, etc. There is also a very nice storage area (closet) in the room as well as an empty dresser for your use.

The neighborhood is quiet, hailing a cab a snap, and the subway is just a short walk away.

We took the advice of one of the previous lodgers and tried the pizza at the Little Italy Pizza place on 72nd and Broadway, near the McDonalds. It was probably the best pizza my husband (who loves pizza) has had, he said, since our move away from Chicago. Thin crust, crispy and while we were there, two slices of cheese and a coke were only $5.

The French Patisserie near the pizza place had good treats as well.

Should we ever have the opportunity to return to NYC, we will not hesitate to contact Leslie. She not only provides good communication, a lovely place to stay and all those nice little extras, she makes you feel comfortable in her home.
