The place is good, safe, artfully decorated and orderly, although the cleaning could be improved a bit. The host is the sweetest person on the earth really, very positive and warm, extremely accommodating and quick to respond to whatever questions/favors you’ve got to ask. The neighborhood is at the walking distance from the Columbia University’s magnificent new Manhattanville campus. But if you’re not into walking, public transportation is easily accessible from just across the street and several blocks further down the street.
