I highly recommend Tom's place. The neighborhood is peaceful and attractive. Location is very convenient to the 125th Street express subway line as well as to several Citi Bike pickup/dropoff points and Columbia University is a short walk away. The studio itself is charming with high ceilings and nicely furnished. Best of all two floor to ceiling windows have a great view of the garden and southern exposure - lots of sun. Tom was very helpful - even when I pestered him with questions. Book early as the place is very popular - I lucked out.
