I highly recommend staying with Agnes! Three of us stayed here to visit Columbia and tour NYC - it was the perfect location (and safe, as she says). There was a metro station just around the corner. We had no problems at all parking our rental car on the street and in the parking garage next to the apartment. We made use of the kitchen to make breakfast (and dinner one night), which was awesome. It was great to have access to two bathrooms. The beds were both very comfortable, and the room was large enough to fit all three of us and our luggage contentedly. Agnes was a kind and thoughtful host who went above and beyond to give us great service. We got complimentary snacks, bottled water, and even socks! You should definitely stay here if you get the chance.
