I spent two months in the apartment while being at Columbia. Aram was a fantastic host who made me feel welcome from day one. The apartment is extremely nice and bright. I loved every aspect of my stay. The room is spacious and clean and exactly as advertised. I stayed in over two dozen places via airbnb and this was easily among the best. What I also liked was the excellent supermarket around the corner (which is not that easy to find in Manhattan) and the subway right around the corner. The nearby park is safe and lots of fun in winter. Oh, and the cats. I loved the cats!
