I stayed at Leon's apartment for a weekend getaway with two of my female colleagues/friends to attend a show at the Bell House. We picked the apartment because of the proximity to The Bell House (20 minute walk) and most importantly because of the art work displayed throughout the unit. We absolutely adored his diverse style and found a piece of art that we all related to. The apartment is a clean small space (expected for NY) but Leon utilizes every square inch efficiently and we never felt crowded with the three of us. Two of us slept in the bed (very comfortable) and one person took the oversized couch which is equally as comfortable and roomy. The best part about the apartment, is the private deck! I believe we may have spent most of our time outside soaking up sun and taking in views rather than actually exploring! I will say that if you're not one for a lot of physical activity, you may want to consider a different location as it’s a five floor walk-up, but it’s DEFINITELY WORTH IT!
The neighborhood is quiet and we never felt unsafe walking around afterhours. If you need to drive, free street parking in the area was more of an abundance than I expected and we had no issues even in the late night hours.
Besides the actual apartment, Leon is amazing as well! We arrived late on a Friday night (after check-in time), but Leon was very flexible and worked with us to make sure we still had access to the keys. He is very quick at responding, so you will never feel as if you’re stuck figuring things out. He is also very hospitable and opened up his food and drinks to us as well.
I would highly recommend staying at Leon’s apartment and we hope to return to in future!
