It was such a pleasure staying at Amber’s place. She is a lovely host, very accommodating and delightful to share time with. She allowed me to drop my bags off early as my Megabus arrived at 8:30 a.m. she immediately walked me through everything I would need to know about the apartment. My bedroom and the bathroom were very clean and the apartment was very comfortable and cozy. I was able to use the common area to cook and relax and even though we shared the bathroom, that was never inconvenient. Amber offered a sleeping mask and earplugs but I never needed either. It was very quiet. The location was ideal for me as I was visiting my son at Columbia University and it was an easy walk, maybe 10 or 15 minutes down Amsterdam Ave. also about a 15 minute walk to the area of the Apollo Theatre where I found a great yoga studio that had a new student, three visit deal. The apartment was a short walk to subways. I walked home from Columbia several nights and always felt safe.
