This place is amazing, it is definitely on the smaller side, but there’s so much to do in the city you won’t want to be spending all your time in the room anyway. Leigh is very nice and approachable, and the cats are incredible!
My main warning: it is on the 5th floor of an apt building with no elevator, and the stairway is pretty narrow. So if you’re disabled or generally not up for a bit of a hike, this might not be the right place.
The location felt very safe, I walked around quite a bit pretty late at night and had no genuine concerns. I mean obviously it’s New York so caution is always advised, but still. There’s lots of food, bars, etc open late.
The apt itself is very clean, and feels very homey! You should stay here:)
One other thing: if you haven’t used a keycafe before, be prepared to go to a different location to pick up your keys when you first arrive. Leigh’s is on the other side of the block, which took me a little while to sort out because I’d never heard of key cafe before!
