Tammy has really made the apartment feel like a home from home (little touches like a clock, pictures, ornament etc) which as a single traveller I really appreciated. Although I didn't cook in the apartment it's very well equipped with everything you might expect (cutlery, crockery, cookware, knives etc). It is a very clean apartment (bedding and towels are very nice!) and the bed is comfortable. Tammy was very welcoming in her communication before and during my stay. On a couple of nights I did hear a little bit of road noise from 8th Avenue but that's because I'm a very light sleeper and not the fault of the apartment. Location wise it suited me very well, approximately 25 minutes walk through Morningside Park to Columbia University, and 20 blocks (less than 1.5 miles) to the top west of Central Park. I really enjoyed my stay.
