The room at Joseph’s place is exactly as pictured. It’s in a great location, close to restaurants, shops, Columbia University, busses and the subway. The apartment is on the 5th floor. You’ll get a good workout going up and down the narrow staircase going to and from the apartment. It’s pretty quiet inside. There’s an ac unit in the window. Joseph is friendly and accommodating. He gave tips on restaurants and Broadway tickets. We chatted about the art scene and Peter Murphy. I had a lovely stay and highly recommend.
