Leigh is extremely communicative and his place is in such a convenient location. It's a 2 min walk to the A express train, which will get you to Times Square area in 20-30 min max. The apartment is in a cozy section of Morningside Heights, not far from Columbia University, and is surrounded by brownstones. The space itself is extremely open so you don't feel cramped. And for being in NYC, it was extremely quiet (I know from living in a nearby neighborhood). I would suggest this space especially if you're visiting NYC for the first time, as the neighborhood is slower paced and isn't as congested as popular hotel locations like Midtown. Felt like you could breathe and enjoy the city a little easier.
