The location is just great, within a block from Morningside Park, 2 blocks from subway line C, 10 minutes walk from Columbia University. The room is easily accessible thanks to the elevator. The apartment and the room are sparkling clean and comfy. Note that the kitchen is off limits, but we didn't need it. On the other side, the host provided an amazing choice of free snacks, water, and even a bottle of excellent Pinot Noir wine in our room. This is what I call "going above and beyond"! Also the host lent us their Met membership card - and remember that Met in within a walking distance (about 40 min through the Central Park - a very pleasant walk!). So we saved $50 just by using this card to pay a visit to Met! All in all, staying with Jen and Paul was an extremely pleasant experience. Next time we go to New York we hope to stay with them again.
