Deirdre is a fantastic host with a really lovely apartment. I found the place easily and slept very well in the comfortable bed. Deirdre is the perfect airbnb host in that she is very friendly and I really enjoyed talking with her, but I didn't feel awkward when I went to my room to finish up some work (and sleep, of course!). The neighborhood is great and easily accessible to the subway and Columbia University. I would definitely recommend her place!
