Leo’s place was cute and clean but not luxurious. It was about half the size it appears to be in the photos and the entrance to the building was not as clean and maintained as it could be (scuffed walls, dirty floor and cigarette butts).
Inside, the apartment was well maintained with nice new appliances and a deep bathtub.
The one bedroom had a very comfortable queen bed. The other “bed” was in a nice sitting room but it was not a bed. It is a loveseat with its backdown, creating a platform. Perfect for a child 12 years or under. Uncomfortable for anyone over 5’1. I would suggest bringing an air mattress.
Location was fine. Diverse, not terribly gentrified, the subway was around the corner and you can get what you need in the neighborhood.
The backyard is a paved space you can access from the apartment but there is not one piece of furniture out there so it’s a place to stand outside. The roof (5 flights up) had a nice view of the Manhattan skyline, but again, furniture was lacking.
Communication was good and check in was not a problem
