Joseph was friendly, helpful, and responsive and gave me great recommendations on NY eats, shopping, art, and other things to do. The place is as described and looked like the photos. It’s very walkable, and, being near Columbia University, is quite safe and there are a lot of students like me in the area. I do wish I had known that the room didn’t have a proper lock, but, anyhow, I didn’t run into any safety or privacy issues, and I was only there for a very short amount of time. Joseph also helped me with my suitcases and the door. Overall, it was still a good stay and I had a great time in New York!
