The apartment is very clean and tidy, plus the kitchen has great appliances such as a coffee machine, toaster and rice cooker. My room was really bright and sunny and I got pretty attached to the place. There’s a lockable closet for valuables and the bed was very comfortable. The only thing is, pack some ear plugs as it can get pretty noisy outside! Mostly due to sirens (there’s a hospital nearby) and there is a bar on the ground floor. They would sometimes have live music, which to be fair was actually pretty great and didn’t go on too late, except maybe a little at weekends. In terms of location the transport links were brilliant, there’s a bus stop right outside and it’s walking distance from Columbia University (about 25 mins) and close to subway stations 135th and 125th. The area feels a little edgy at times, but I never had any problems. Overall a wonderful stay and communication was excellent.
