I highly recommend Janu's shared room for any traveler looking for a great deal for staying at a prime location. I needed to book a place in haste near Columbia campus and this place is 2 avenues from their shuttle dropoff and 2 blocks away from the subway so it was a really ideal situation for me and saved me some money.
Being a girl in my 20's it may seem unorthodox to share a room with an older man, but let me tell you, Janu is comfortable to be around and made me feel at ease during my stay. He was accommodating when I arranged with him to see the place before I booked since a shared room is simply going to be different form a private room, and after meeting him, I knew I wanted to book the place.
I enjoyed our conversations, the bed was comfortable and I slept well, I was able to carry out my daily routines for upkeep so in my book it had everything that I needed.
