The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable, with hi ceilings, and very airy. My family liked it so much I'm looking to buy a coop in the neighborhood. This was a game changer for me, we were jet lagged and so woke up early every morning, went for a walk, followed by a coffee and breakfast on nearby broadway. The 1,2,3 subway stations were a block away. Very convenient, doorman was very polite n friendly, but professional. Great for families with kids too. My 2 year old loved the basket of plush toys in the living room, while I watched tv and surfed internet via fast wifi. She also loved the playgrounds in the park. The washer and dryer, kitchen, a/c, toilets and beds were all easy to use and everything we could have wished for. This was my 16 year old daughters first exposure to Columbia U and I'm hopeful we'll have an opportunity to come back n stay again if she gets accepted there in the future. Overall, a wonderful experience!
