Patricia's apartment is large to NYC standards and clean. Perfect for someone who study at Columbia University (only 10 minutes walk) and only a couple of minutes walk from the number 1 train.
The area is safe at night and, although the apartment is on the main street, it is not noisy. There are few restaurants and a nice boulangerie that sells nice French pastries just across the street.

Patricia is a very good host and very flexible in terms of check in/out times. I will definitely book this apartment in the near future!
