This was my first Airbnb experience and I have to say it was a great one and I'm hoping to be back very soon. I was welcomed into the house by Susham - Rahul's wonderful wife - and given a clean and well-sized room for my stay in NYC. The location is perfect - just across the street from central Columbia University and the 116th subway stop on the 1. Located in a safe area, a bonus was the elevator which made moving luggage around much easier.
