I had a great stay at Andrea's apartment. She was very friendly and gave me complete privacy; the apartment was spotless, the very spacious room was clean and comfortable with a sunny, street view window. No noise issues, no feeling unsafe, no horrible smells coming from a random restaurant or sewer grate from the street below.......I had full access to the bathroom and never had to wait to get in to shower. The place is only 1/2 block from the 125th street subway station, so it was perfect for me. The neighborhood is safe, quiet, clean, and just one stop away from Columbia University. Andrea was kind and accommodating when I arrived about an hour late (about 10:15pm) due to a plane delay); I was given my keys to the place and was free to come and go as I needed. If you want a clean, safe, affordable place to stay, with complete privacy and easy access to the subway, this place is ideal. Thank you Andrea, for being such a great host!
