The apartment is clean, comfortable, and extremely spacious for NYC! Plus, it is a corner apartment with lots of windows. The location is great — only 5 mins to the 1 train and less than 10 mins to Columbia. There is a laundry room in the basement and the laundry card was pre-loaded for us. Although the apartment is on the first floor, street noise did not bother us since the area is pretty quiet at night and the window AC drowns out outside noise when it is on. Vivian is a great host and very responsive to our messages. I would not hesitate to stay here again!
