Coming from Idaho, we thought we'd have a week without sleep, but Leo's place is surprisingly quiet. We'd come back exhausted from our New York adventures and heard nothing. Great sleep. Super comfortable bed. We loved our stay.
Leo greeted us on our arrival and referred us to a number of great delis and bars. Our favorite was Sunny and Anni's on Avenue B. We also discovered that his place is near Vazac's Horseshoe Bar (108 Avenue B), where they filmed the first Crocodile Dundee.
We were there a week and never felt unsafe. For transportation, it's near the "L" subway and the Stuytown ferry to either mid-Manhattan or Wall Street.
Overall, highly recommended, especially for country bumpkins like ourselves. We'll be back.
