Pet's place worked perfectly for us. We were visiting our son who recently joined Columbia and we enjoyed being at walking distance from his house and the University. We also enjoyed riding around Manhattan using Citybike, with a station just one block away. At night we prefered (and recommend) taking a taxi or Uber to be on the safe side, although the metro line is also just two blocks from the building. The apt is in perfect condition and offers you all you may need. Spacious, great bedding, excellent appliances and utensils. Pet (and Nivea) was always available, responding immediately to all our questions.
