I hate to start out with such a great review because I'd like to keep this hidden gem for myself! Paul's place is awesome! Great space and great location! I was in NYC for 2 weeks at Columbia and the location was just a few blocks away. I didn't want to deal with transit in the AM, although that would not have been a big issue anyway. Plus, it's right off broadway (the broadway that has shows) so subways access was great. Since it's a college town, I felt super safe and there were minimal tourists and minimal bums also. A couple things to note: this is actually Paul's residence so there are some personal affects to be mindful of. I really appreciated that though because I was able to tap into the Tylenol and bandaids in the medicine cabinet over the course of 2 weeks. Hey, anything can happen! He was totally respectful of my privacy and wasn't popping in or out during my stay. I'm hopeful that if Teachers college has anymore trainings that I get to go to, Paul's place is available!
