My parents had a great stay at Elisabeth's place! It was cozy and welcoming, and great for a couple to stay for two weeks. They were able to use the kitchen and cook meals ( all basic staples were kindly made available, but it is not a extremely well equipped kitchen) , as well as enjoy the living room amenities including a large screen and fast working wifi. The bedroom itself was pretty quiet, but the living and dining rooms overlooked a busy street which meant that it could get loud in the apartment at night (especially on weekends) which was a nuisance from time to time. However, my parents had a very pleasant stay overall, and we would recommend this place to visitors who want to be close to Columbia's campus and still have access to the rest of the city via the 1 line which has a stop steps away from the apartment.
