John was very friendly and welcoming. The communication was very good and he answered very quickly. Getting to the appartment ist very easy, just drop off the subway and there it is. John opened the door gave me the keys and he came back two weeks later for the key exchange and asked me for the time. I very liked the fact that John had bought some food for breakfast, that was so friendly! The appartment is very comfortable and it has a very good location. It is only a 15 minutes footwalk to Columbia University and Central Park even nearer. To get to downtown Manhattan it is only a 15 minutes ride with the subway. So all in all I can highly recommend John's appartment!!
