Leon was a responsive, attentive host; he responded to every text within minutes, and the key drop-off went off exactly as planned. When we had trouble making the key work in the lock he was solicitous and ready to come help us out. Fortunately, we figured it out (pro tip: lift up the doorknob slightly as you turn the key). The apartment was clean and quiet -- the perfect perch from which to explore. The deck was a real plus. Great neighborhood, pleasant walk to subway on Smith and restaurants and shops on Court Street. Totally worth the climb up the stairs.
