This apartment is narrower than the pictures suggest and it is a bit too expensive for what you get. There were just two pots in the apartment, no knives, no curtain on the second bedroom window and no extras. My in-laws stayed there for 9 nights and had to buy an extra pot and knives to make their stay a bit more comfortable. The location is ideal as it is near Columbia University, and would be perfect for students or young people who don't plan to cook or hang out in the apartment much. However, if you're older or expect to cook, you'd need more amenities than the place has.

That said, Thomas turned out to be a nice guy when I met him and I'm sure if my in-laws had mentioned their discontent to him, he would have taken steps to fix things. I was traveling and didn't arrive until late in their trip, otherwise I would have mentioned these things to Thomas early.

I recommend Thomas' apartment, considering the above are fixed.
