A family of 3 staying near Columbia/Barnard/Union/JTS/Manhattan School of Music. Our daughter had a University interview, so we wanted to stay walking distance for both convenience and to experience the neighborhood. Based on that, the location was perfect for us! I'm not sure if there are too many other options, but this option was absolutely perfect! A 10min walk to any of these schools. The place itself was exactly like the pictures, very clean, with high ceilings and a lot of light. It is was quiet, since the windows face away from both corner streets and also because the neighborhood is quite calm and quiet. We have walked around the neighborhood and to the University half a dozen times during our two days and each time it felt safe, calm, people pushing strollers, walking dogs, next to the park, very nice!!! We also used a subway to get downtown a couple of times: just a few blocks, very convenient. The kitchen and the apartment overall is very new. We did not use the kitchen due to a short stay, but it seems very well appointed. Our daughter used a sleeper in the living room: it was big and comfortable. Bathroom was very clean. Communication and check-in/check-out was responsive and quick! I highly recommend Kellianne as a host and her beautiful apartment! It was a pleasure! Thank you, Kellianne!
