Nice location, close to central park and morningside park. We were visiting our son at Columbia, so it was convenient. The place was basically clean, but stained around the edges and a bit dusty. The communication started out rocky - they were not that responsive in how to check in. In addition, the windows were open when we arrived and the it was not warm enough. After several back and forths over the first 24 hours, we learned that you need to use all of your weight to close the windows. After that we did not have any problems. Overall, a value stay.
