I was Jaleh's place for a short stay. Jaleh is really nice and very considerate. She made me feel very welcome in her home and she was always ready to answer any questions/concerns that I had. Both of us being hosts, we had a lot of experiences to share and we had a good conversation.
The room is located about a 15 min walk from Columbia. There are subway stations a couple of blocks down as well that will take you all over NYC. When it comes to food options - there are places like Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, and various sit down restaurants within a 5 min walk. The room was large enough for a single person but you could squeeze 2 in a bind. There is a small desk in the room as well. The bathroom is shared with the other airbnb room and the hosts. It was clean and they provided all the essentials.
Overall, if you are looking for a comfortable stay, close to Columbia, or a place at a reasonable rate in Manhattan, this is great place to stay.
