What a lovely experience staying at Leticia's place!! She is a wonderful person & a great host - very warm & considerate, went out of her way many times to help me settle in. At the time I arrived, she wasn't at home but as soon as I called her, she rushed back leaving her work so I wouldn't have to wait. She took me around the locality showing me the supermarkets, the subway station etc and also went with me to get a local phone connection for me! All this made me feel very welcome & at home.

The studio has a very warm & cozy feel to it, and has all the amenities for 1-2 people to conveniently stay even for long durations. It has a separate entrance, and allows you all the privacy that you'd want. The kitchenette has all the basic utensils, a stove, an oven & a refrigerator - so all you need is a few supplies if you plan to cook & you'd be good. There is plenty of storage space for all your things, which is rare. There is also an AC for warmer days which was a blessing this time of the year! The place is nicer than it looks in the pictures I'd say – bright, very clean & well maintained. Leticia has lots of plants everywhere, which adds to the charm of the place. There is also a lovely peach tree right outside the studio, which gives yummy peaches if you’re there in the right season (I was lucky enough to sample them, thanks Leticia! :)

The locality itself is quite nice & peaceful – it’s a short 10 min walk to the subway, shops & restaurants from the house, and I felt safe walking back even late at night. On the subway, it was a short 20 min ride into Manhattan, making it very convenient for me to commute for my meetings.

My sister joined me for the long weekend & she loved the place too – we both had nice conversations with Leticia about India where she has travelled extensively. I actually felt sad leaving from this place! Even though I stayed for 10 days, I would have happily stayed longer if it wasn't booked out. I highly recommend Leticia's place to everyone! Thanks for everything Leticia! - Prerna
