I spent many hours vetting places on AirBnB for a workshop at Columbia, and my first time in NYC in many years. I'm so glad I found this place, which is walkable to Columbia, and 125th with major bus/metro lines. The room is in the back of the building, overlooking the garden. There are thick curtains and an A/C unit in the bedroom...for light/fussy sleepers like myself, this was a good setup for staying in a big city. The house has a large, updated bathroom for the guests. Room had quiet desk space and fast WiFi, where I worked on finishing and practicing my presentation.
Greg and Irene were great hosts, always easy to find or contact for help and questions. They checked in daily on my comfort in their home. Greg had lots of great tips from the start on navigating the neighborhood and city. Would definitely stay again!
