We stayed here for two nights. Rahul and his wife were very welcoming. They always asked us if there was anything we needed. They even offered tea/coffee/fruit for breakfast. The location is great. Incredibly close to Columbia and subway line 1. The room has a closet, a full-size bed, a desk, one chair, a mini fridge and a bookshelf full of very interesting books. They also provided us with towels :) There is almost no street noise. The bed was not too comfortable as it was one thin mattress on top of another mattress, but it was fine for two nights. If you have back problems, it's probably not the bed for you. The bathroom is shared so be respectful of their house rules and try not to be too noisy. The area is safe. The building has an elevator if you needed. I recommend staying for a quick visit.
