  Comments: The apartment very accurately met the description provided on Air BNB. Not just cozy and spacious but also very clean, accessible and in a GREAT part of Astoria. Leo Mizrahi was incredibly kind and accommodating. Without a doubt, the best person I have dealt with on Air BNB. I would recommend this apartment to anyone staying in New York for more than a few days.

  Comments: This apartment is not glamorous and Astoria is an area of New York little visited by tourists. But Leo was a very friendly, helpful host, the place was comfortable and clean and we really liked Astoria - a place where people really live, with real shops and great supermarkets and cafes.

  Comments: Leo's apartment was perfect for our stay. The three of us were very comfortable. Beds were great and the apartment was very clean. Location was close to wonderful restaurants and a grocer around the corner. Because my flight came in early, Leo made arrangements for an early check-in. If we needed anything we knew we could call Leo. Looking forward to returning to NY. Thanks Leo!!!

  Comments: If you are looking for a charming non-hotel environment in which to stay near NYC, consider Leo's apartment. Convenient to the subway (four blocks away), shopping (Key Foods is one block away), with numerous restaurants and shops everywhere in the neighborhood, but yet very quiet inside, it was the perfect place for our NYC stay. To cut down on our expenses, we were able to cook our dinners using Leo's kitchen equipment. In fact we kind of became like true New Yorkers taking the subway home from the city in the evening, hitting Key Foods for groceries and not sitting down to eat until 8-9pm! Anyway, Leo keeps a lovely and immaculate apartment, one I would most definitely rent again.

• Reviewer: Denitsa

  Comments: We spent the Labor Day weekend at Leo's place. We got late in Astoria because of traffic but he accommodated us and made sure we were all settled. We arranged a late check out which saved us some hassle. The place is in the mids of everything. It's was very clean and cute! Leo was a great host and I would rent his apartment again!

• Reviewer: Manuela

  Comments: Leo was very nice and hospitable. The apt is very well kept and clean. Leo left clean towels and sheets, a hair dryer, blankets. The apt has air conditioner, tv with cable + teevo, playstation to watch movies. it is near the heart of Astoria, it is a very safe area and served by the metro, so it is very easy to get to Manhattan. I def suggest this place to anybody who wants to stay in NY comfortably.

• Reviewer: Hugh

  Comments: The apartment was excellent. Lots of room. Well maintained and clean. Quiet. Everything worked well. Leo was very flexible regarding check-in and check-out. Astoria is a great neighbourhood to stay in. Lots of resources locally, and easy to get into Manhattan.

  Comments: We were scheduled to arrive in NYC on the day of the Superstorm, and Leo was very flexible in allowing us to change our arrival and departure dates. He also made a tremendous effort, in very difficult circumstances, to get the apartment ready, despite power outages and transportation difficulties. During our stay he was available by phone to answer questions and get help as needed. The location is convenient, with lots of stores nearby; the apartment was clean, comfortable and very suited to our needs (even having 2 friends come to visit). The kitchen was well supplied for cooking and preparing meals. Overall it was a good place for us to stay, even in the midst of the aftermath of the storm!

  Comments: Leo was a perfect host... the place was as advertised... clean, spacious, nicely decorated with a male's taste. The area was great....within blocks from dry cleaning, supermarket, gym, restaurants, night life. Great area, great location!!! The apartment was quiet and cozy. I certainly enjoyed my stay there.

• Reviewer: Philippe

  Comments: Leo was really kind in meeting with me and showing me how everything worked in his apartment. It's comfortable and very clean, with a good location and a neighbourhood vibe. Very convenient if you're going to Upper Midtown, only a couple subway stops. Thanks Leo!

• Reviewer: Ty

  Comments: I recently stayed at Leo's apartment, and recommend the experience. Leo was courteous and responsive via text when I had questions during my stay. The apartment is quiet (on the back of the building) and has all the basic necessities. The Astoria location is very convenient to New York Sports Club, supermarkets, restaurants and a short walk to subway.

• Reviewer: Lori

  Comments: Leo's place is very comfortable, and I enjoyed staying there. It's in a great location, close to everything on 30th Ave. Only thing is that he does not have a well stocked kitchen. So if you are staying for a long time and want to cook meals, it might not be the place for you. There are so many great places to eat nearby, so most likely this will not be a problem. It's a good thing I asked Leo in advance if he has a coffee maker, because he does not. Fortunately, I have a little drip thing that goes over the cup, which is easy to take with me. Otherwise there are lots of places close by to get coffee (I just like to have mine first thing in the morning). Leo was very nice and helpful. He communicated with me via text, and replied very promptly to my questions. So, yes, I would recommend staying there.

• Reviewer: Kristina

  Comments: Very stylish apartment (awesome chandiler) and excellent location. It was an easy walk to all the local bars. Our stay was super comfortable and Leo was an excellent host and very hepful. A true NewYork experience, I definitely recommend staying here!

• Reviewer: Eli

  Comments: Leo's place was great! Clean, neat, and looked just like the pictures.Great neighborhood, with quick access to everything you need, it was perfect and Leo was a great host.

• Reviewer: Carlos

  Comments: Astoria is fantastic if you want to see how New Yorkers live. The apartment was very close to a number of subway lines taking you to manhattan or to JfK, very convenient. Leo was a perfect host, has thought of every detail, courteous and made an effort to keep in touch leading up to our stay. The apartment is a decent size for New York and had everything we needed for our 10 day stay. The description listed is precise and and other reviews left are accurate. My wife and I would stay again.

• Reviewer: Georgina

  Comments: This was my first Airbnb experience and it was GREAT! Leo was out of town but he answered really fast all txt and e-mails, gave us clear explanations, was helpful and cared if everything was OK. He replied my first inquiry in 30 minutes (other people took 8 days to reply!). The apartment was clean, cozy, with this funky decoration we loved, and it was very quiet (no noise from street or neighbors). It’s exactly as in the pictures but a little bit bigger. Clean sheets and tons of towels, comfy bed, super-comfy couch. Very conveniently located, close to 2 subway stations. Safe neighborhood. Astoria is a great area, very lively and authentic (not a touristic spot), a real ethnic melting pot!. People seem to know each other on the streets and stores, like in old time neighborhoods. My recommendation is go towards north 30th Ave instead of Steinway St. 30th Ave has more cafes, restaurants, bakeries, fruit and vegetable stores, flower stores, etc. I think Astoria has a lot of things to explore. Great place to sense how other real newyorkers (not just manhattanites) live everyday life. Though it’s close to Manhattan, it’s a peace oasis compared with the craziness and fast speed of Manhattan. Good place to chill out! Overall a great experience! I highly recommend Leo, his apartment and Astoria. I will definitely repeat!

  Comments: A host with quick and flexible responses. Nice place but the light is quite dark in all rooms. Sometimes it didnt work well and I had to use his candles. Other things are perfect. He has clear rules, instructions, house stuffs even for whom who need to cook in the kitchen. The place is about 10 mins walk from subway.

• Reviewer: Mark

  Comments: Leo's apartment is perfect for a NYC visitor. It's a quiet, hip retreat in a bustling, diverse and gentrifying neighborhood. It's close to two busy subway lines that take you downtown quickly. Highly recommended and I'd love to return one day.

• Reviewer: Robyn

  Comments: My stay at Leo's was comfortable and easy to coordinate. He was in touch with me by text/email the entire time and very clear about household and check-in/out instructions. The apartment was clean and prepped upon arrival and the neighborhood is fab. So many great restaurants and bars along 30th Ave. A good Airbnb experience!

  Comments: nice apartment and very convenient place

• Reviewer: Cyrielle

  Comments: My stay at Leo's place was amazing... Firstly, i wasn't disappointed at all it looked like pictures and everything that i needed was here. The neighborhood is great with shops and plenty of restaurants. There are subway stations that i could take easily to Manhattan (which is very close)... Besides, i could reach Leo easily and he helped me when i needed to. I would recommand this place to everyone who want to visit New York!

• Reviewer: Maggy

  Comments: Leo was absolutely fantastic. Super helpful and really friendly! His place was awesome, the only downside is that we had to leave (wanna trade homes Leo?) The area is really fun, lots of great bars and diners, and it's super easy to get into the city.

Die Wohnung selbst sieht genauso aus wie auf den Bildern! Wir haben uns wirklich sehr wohlgefühlt!

• Reviewer: Laura

  Comments: Astoria was wonderful. I've had never stayed in Queens while in NYC, but will be sure to visit/stay more often because of its serious old school charm. The apt was just what we needed for Gov Ball. Close to food, shops and metro lines. The place was clean and we found everything we needed.

• Reviewer: Ashley

  Comments: Leo is great! We had last minute extra guests and Leo was very accommodating to our needs and got us an extra items for us. We arrived a little earlier than expected so he was able to give us a quick tour of the apartment. He is very quick to answer texts when you need something.

• Reviewer: Graham

  Comments: Great apt in a perfect location - Astoria is a great place to eat and drink...very easy transportation to city (various subway lines very close by). 10-15 minutes to midtown Manhattan. Leo set everything up perfectly, and check in/out was a breeze. Communication was great as well. Cozy yet modern apartment right up the block from all the new (and old) restaurants and bars...would definitely stay again.
