This room was exactly as described, very comfortable, and very convenient for the subway and local amenities (such as the shops and parks). It was fifteen minutes ' walk from this location to the Columbia campus, where I was working during my stay, and five minutes from the subway for access to downtown Manhattan. The house is appealingly decorated and all the facilities are clean and accessible. Irene took care to be there to greet me when I arrived and to talk me through the basics for the house and locality. Overall, very convenient, comfortable, quiet and safe; would recommend.
