Larahs place worked very well for us as we wanted to be close to Columbia University. We have found it very difficult to find liveable and reasonably priced accommodation in New York. Larahs place was an easy walk to Whole Foods and an Uber would arrive within 2 minutes. The place was very light and it was a wonderful base away from home for us. The kitchen was well equipped. There is lots of storage and back up supplies. The laundry was modern also well equipped. The lounge had a very comfortable pull out bed. Larahs place is as in the pictures.
