Overall, the place was great. It is very close to the subway and Columbia University (1 subway stop away, but also walking distance). The place is nothing fancy, but accurately depicted by the photos and description. If you’re planning on exploring the city rather than hanging out all day in the apartment, this is the perfect place as it is well priced and convenient.
The only downside of the stay was a minor issue with the AC, where it seemed to stop working properly for the last couple of days. However, it had worked great the first few days, so it seemed to be a new problem during our stay that I expect the host will fix, rather than a preexisting issue. Also, the host was very responsive regarding check-in, check-out, and the AC.
