Our stay a Leesa's was great! She was a friendly and attentive host providing us with prompt and accurate information to our questions about the area prior and during our trip. Her apartment was A+, clean, comfortable, and well stocked with essential and extra thoughtful amenities. Value of the accommodations were 5 star with the amount of space and it's location near the metro and the city. We got a 30$ 7 day metro pass and traveled in town and back freely and with ease. The station on the opposite side of the block is the red line which travels directly downtown to the park, Columbus circle, Times Square, Broadway and all the way to Battery park. We never used anything but the metro for our entire stay, which saved a lot of money. Despite being obvious tourists we felt comfortable and came to and from the metro at all hours of the day and night without concern or incident. On the block there are a couple of convenience stores open late, an elementary school, churches, residences, and a hospital. The building was very a quiet oasis away from the hustle of the city. I would 100% stay again.
