I stayed at Edwin’s place for two months while I studied for the NY bar. I was looking for a no-frills place where I can concentrate and Edwin’s place had everything I needed— full sized bed, a desk, chair, working AC, quiet/clean communal spaces, kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer. The place is 2 min to the 110 st station, 9 min to Columbia’s campus, 2 min from HMart/Westside Market, and 20 min to Midtown by subway.
My room was closest to the street so you could hear the chatter of the school children across the street during the day. But otherwise, the noise level was low for NYC standards. Edwin kept the place clean and responded to requests immediately, so I felt well taken care of. I’d highly recommend Edwin’s place for any student/working professional or tourist!
