The garden apartment is a lovely place to stay: cute, quaint, modern, updated, clean, and safe. We stayed there for 4 weeks, and would definitely stay again. Its location is just right for City College or Columbia visitors, and grocery shopping and banking facilities are close by. If you need an overnight parking garage (to avoid parking hassles), there's one a block away on St. Nicholas Ave ("Uptown Parking"). Mark and Josephine were great--very responsive, accommodating, and pleasant. They will make sure your stay is as good as it can be. Highly recommended!
