Wonderful host and home! Florence is a beautiful and friendly host. She made me feel very comfortable and at home. Her clean apartment is in a safe and gorgeous neighborhood. It's literally across the street from Central Park and a few blocks away from Columbia U which is near lots of cafes, restaurents, and markets. It's conveniently located near bus stops and train stations. The closest station is North Central Station. There is an elevator in the building. The washer doubles as a dryer which is really neat. The AC is in the living room but not in the room itself, but you can ask for the fan. The room itself is quiet and simple. I really enjoyed my stay here. I am definitely coming back next time I visit NYC!
