My daugher and I stayed 5 nights and were greeted warmly by Tunesia and John. They are wonderful hosts! The room was exactly as pictured with the addition of a comfy fold-out chair bed. (The pictured bed was very comfortable as well!) Lots of storage for our clothes. We had a portable air conditioner to cool the room (the first 2 days were very warm but after that we only used the ceiling fans). Our room refrigerator was stocked with water bottles. The wifi password, contact numbers, and house keys were all there for us. We had access to the full kitchen outside our bedroom door and exclusive use of the downstairs bathroom. John walked us to the nearby grocery store and pointed out recommended restaurants, the drug store and subway station. The next morning we were headed to Columbia University, and John walked us part of the way. Each day John and Tunesia checked on us, answered our questions, and gave us helpful tips and recommendations. The neighborhood is convenient to Columbia U. and Central Park with easy access to the subway. There are several restaurants nearby, and the atmosphere is lively. We felt very safe even walking from the subway at night. Stay here if you can!!
