Leslie's place was very cute. The bed and comforter were super cozy. We were able to utilize the kitchen quite conveniently. The only trouble we had was managing the heater. Checking in and out was simple. Getting to and from Manhattan was easy but the walk from the flat to the train took some time. There are plenty of local convenient stores in the area, as well as cheap eats. There is a full size market several blocks down. The area seems kind of run down but overall we managed our way around pretty safely. We didn't meet Leslie but she was communicative whenever we needed something. She was still a great host. I would recommend staying here, good value for the price. Thank you Leslie!
