I loved staying at Tom's.
The location was perfect for me as I wanted to be close to Columbia. It was a 7-minute walk to my classes and it took the hassle out of having to worry about taking the subway (though there's a subway station just a short walk away).
The neighborhood is, and neighbors are, very quiet, which means you'll get a good night sleep and be able to focus on any work, or reading in my case, you might need to do.
The studio was very clean. It had all the basic amenities, from cutlery to shampoo and body wash. The bed was comfortable. The set up of the studio was really lovely and welcoming.
Tom was very responsive and supportive throughout the whole process. He was also flexible when i needed to change my dates a bit last minute.
I really hope I get to stay there again in the very near future.
