Alfredo's place is a typical Manhattan 2 bedroom apartment. For our tour of Columbia U campus, it is the perfect location. It is walking distance to the university, just on the northern edge of Central Park, and very close to a subway station. We also found a breakfast and lunch store 2 blocks away with a rich selection and very reasonable price. We ended up buying breakfast there and taking it inside Central Park and eating it on a bench every morning! Alfredo keeps the apartment very clean and neat. We were a little concerned about the neighborhood being on the edge of Harlem, but we saw old ladies walking their dogs after 9 or 10 pm. Our stay was uneventful.
