Stayed here for a week and it was very comfortable. Carmel was super nice - she welcomed me and showed me the place (even though I arrived at 1am). The house was pretty quiet and you almost never see the other tenants so it feels very private. The room was spacious and the bathroom was pretty much a private one for your use. The house is conveniently located close to subway lines and a 10-minute walk from the Columbia University area with lots of cute restaurants.
