  Comments: Erika was a super attentive host and very considerate. I had to check out a day early and she was very accommodating and always responded quickly to any communication. The appartment was nice furnished and clean. Public spaces were very clean had all the normal amenities you'd want. 10/10 would buy again.

  Comments: Lovely place to stay in a great neighbourhood. Easy to move around Manhattan from there. The room is charming.

• Reviewer: Yasmin

  Comments: This is a great option for those of you who are traveling alone or a couple. The room is clean, cosy and super cute. The area is also very nice, you have everything you need in a walking distance (restaurants, supermarket etc...) and a subway just around the corner to get wherever you want in the city. This was exactly what i needed and i would definitely recommend it to others. Thank you guys you have a lovely home:)

  Comments: It's a good location and communicating with Erika was really easy.

• Reviewer: 林培源

  Comments: Chris&Erika's apartment is located near the 125 streer subway station.If you go to downtown,you can take line 1,just a couple minutes (Website hidden by Airbnb) thing I think has to be informed before booking is that when the warmer is open,the pipes is noisy,especially in midnight,but it doesn't matter,because almost all the old apartments in NYC have this problem,or maybe it could not be considered as a problem.Above all,Chris and Erika are so nice and friendly.And absolutely,I love this place.

• Reviewer: Steve

  Comments: Erika's place was clean, quiet and in a location that was convenient and safe. It was a good value for NYC!

• Reviewer: Adan

  Comments: Ventajas: - Está a 2 minutos andando de la parada 125 de la línea 1 - La comunicación con Erika es muy buena, contesta rápidamente y te ayuda en todo. Es muy atenta y busca el detalle - La habitación es grande, con armario, cajoneras, productos de higiene, secador... - La casa está bien, con independencia total, puedes usar la cocina y todos los utensilios Inconvenientes: - Las tuberías de la calefacción hacen un ruido horrible como si alguien las golpeara. - El metro pasa dos calles más allá y no está soterrado aunque te acostumbras. Ambas cosas no dependen de la anfitriona, pero es ruidoso sobre todo para dormir

  Comments: Erika was a real pleasure to stay with. She was very accommodating for our schedule, which helped with our late flight. The room and location were exactly what we expected. Would recommend!

• Reviewer: Hyunjin

  Comments: Thank you for your kindness!

• Reviewer: Minghao

  Comments: The apartment is located in upper Manhattan and it takes only 3- minutes walk to the subway. It is a very convenient place! Erika is really nice and considerate.

• Reviewer: Luana

  Comments: We loved to stay at Erika's apartment. Eventhough the metro station (line 1 to downtown) and some nice restaurants are right around the corner, the apartment is absolutely quite located in a beautiful house. Because it was Christmas, nobody was at home, so we had the huge apartment with our room mostly for our own. Both, Erika and her co-host Chris welcomed us sooo warmly and sweet, it was a real pleasure to meet them! And we've never stayed in such a clean apartment, that was really outrageous. absolutely recommend to stay there :-)

• Reviewer: Alice

  Comments: My friend and I stayed at Ericka's place for NYE. The apartment is very clean and comfy. The location is very convenient and very close to the subway station! I definitely recommend this room for your stay in NYC!

• Reviewer: Jordan

  Comments: Very nice and clean place ! We loved it !

• Reviewer: Alden

  Comments: We had to cancel our trip to NYC due to winter storm Grayson the night before, but Erika was gracious enough to accommodate to our change in travel plans. Communication was prompt and transparent; I certainly hope to check out Erika's place when the next chance to visit NYC arises!

• Reviewer: Robert

  Comments: We have nothing but good things to say about our stay at Erika's! Erika has managed to recreate the coziness of a bed-and-breakfast six stories into the Manhattan sky. Our accommodations could not have been more pleasant. Our room was tucked in the very back, behind the kitchen, and it usually felt like we had the place to ourselves! Oh, and there is a really cool fire escape right outside the room! In addition to all of the above, Erika's place is conveniently located right around the corner from the 1 line, which enabled easy access to the rest of the borough, perfect for ensuring the ultimate Manhattan vacation. We would not hesitate to stay here again. ~Robert & Damian

• Reviewer: Anatole

  Comments: Erika est disponible, l'appartement est très sympa. La chambre est parfaite pour un séjour. Seul bémol indépendant d'Erika, le chauffage à la New Yorkaise. Je recommande ce logement pour un séjour de quelques jours.

• Reviewer: Andrea

  Comments: Great location, room, hosts, and stay! We were visiting a friend who attends the Manhattan School of Music and it was only a 3 min walk from the airbnb to the school! Additionally, the subway stop is SO close! We would definitely stay again :)

• Reviewer: Anthea

  Comments: Great place, I unfortunately didn't get to meet Erika but Chris was super nice. The room is exactly as it looks, very spacious and roomy with tonnes of storage for your clothes. The location is great, and it is quiet at night despite being close to the train. Great stay, highly recommend! Thanks for everything!

• Reviewer: Pablo F

  Comments: Such a plesure to stay in this little gem of an apartment. Beautiful, clean, really great location. Erika (the host) was friendly, helpful and very considerate. Can not recommend this enough. Certainly plan to return!

• Reviewer: Jake

  Comments: This was a really good AirBNB experience. For New York, the room felt pretty large and it made for a great place to chill in the downtime during my visit. As for location, you can’t beat it if you are trying to go to Columbia University (I walked to and from the university each day of my visit no problem). For everything else, you are right next to the main subway line that brings you most places you’ll visit in NYC. The only drawback? I am used to having a heater that makes noises, but for this one it was like someone was banging a hammer on a metal pipe two feet away from me! It did wake me up in the middle of the night (and I’m not a light sleeper) Everything else was awesome. Erika is a great host, the room is great and the apartment is in a great location, the only consideration is the heater may disrupt sleep. Overall, I recommend

• Reviewer: Laura

  Comments: Unfortunately we were not able to stay with Erika due to our travel being cancelled but she was very understanding of the situation and responded quickly. Hopefully we will be able to stay with her in the future.

• Reviewer: Jon

  Comments: Erika’s place was in the perfect location for me to visit my daughter at Columbia. The place was very clean with a comfortable bed. Erika is very nice and has an outgoing personality. She truly cares that you enjoy your stay.

• Reviewer: Marta

  Comments: Erika is a friendly host eager to provide hospitality. The room was comfortable and amenities such as ironing board were provided. It’s a nice building and I felt very safe and rested well. Great location close to subway and restaurants. Highly recommend Erika’s place! Marta

• Reviewer: Xiaoling

  Comments: Erika is a nice host. Her house is neat, it is just the room we sleep is too crowded for three of us.

• Reviewer: Mark

  Comments: What a wonderful place! SOOO quiet. I was able to sleep nicely with the window open which you cannot do in all areas of NYC. The bed is super comfy.

• Reviewer: Liping

  Comments: Erica is a wonderful host! She is very considerate and truly cares about her guests! Her place is clean and spacious. The apartment is convenient and close to the subway. I will definitely stay at her place again!

• Reviewer: Tim

  Comments: We had a great stay at Erika's place. The room is just as in the pictures and it felt like home immediately. The neighborhood is very nice and the accomodation is very close to a subway station. Thanks again Erika!

• Reviewer: Maria

  Comments: This was a wonderful stop on our college tour! Erika was a very gracious host, making sure we felt comfortable and orienting is to the neighborhood. Great location. So many food options!

• Reviewer: Lindsey

  Comments: Erika’s place was in such a great location! It was a block away from the transit so it made getting around so easy. The room was extremely clean and well decorated. Very cozy! Erika was great with communication- didn’t have any problems. Would definitely recommend!

• Reviewer: Gillen

  Comments: This place is very lovely. Perfect for what I needed while staying in NYC.

• Reviewer: Kathie

  Comments: Erika's place was great. The location is close to Columbia University Campus. The subway is one block away and an easy ride to Times Square. The room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was quiet and felt very safe. We were gone all day every day - but even so we never even saw any of the other dwellers and never had to wait for the bathroom. Erika was available whenever I needed her. I highly recommend her place~

• Reviewer: Denis

  Comments: Lovely host, room and kitchen :) Recomended!

• Reviewer: Alma

  Comments: Excellent Location

• Reviewer: Elaine

  Comments: Erika's place is on a quiet street right at the seam of the Columbia U neighborhood and Harlem. Loved the location and the room was super comfortable. It was very private and she is well organized for guests, so everything was like clockwork. Very much recommended.

• Reviewer: Candia

  Comments: H Erika είναι ευγενέστατη και πολύ φιλική!!! Το διαμέρισμα είναι λίγο μακριά από το κέντρο, αλλά η στάση του μετρό είναι 5 λεπτά με τα πόδια και το μετρό πολύ γρήγορο. Σε μισή ώρα το πολύ είσαι στο κέντρο. Το δωμάτιο πολύ κομψό και καθαρό. Είχαμε τη δυνατότητα να φτιάχνουμε το πρωινό μας στην κουζίνα. Όλα ήταν μια χαρά εκτός από μερικούς ήχους του καλοριφέρ κατά το ξημέρωμα...όχι όμως κάτι το πολύ σοβαρό, μια μικρή ενόχληση για όσους δεν πάσχουν από αυπνίες :) ! Επίσης η γειτονιά μας φάνηκε πολύ ωραία και ο δρόμος 125str έχει πολύ ενδιαφέρον με ωραία παλιά jazz bars πολύ κοντά, στα οποία μπορείς να φτάσεις με τα (Website hidden by Airbnb) συστήνουμε ανεπιφύλακτα σε όποιον ενδιαφέρεται να επισκεφτεί το Manhattan.

• Reviewer: Sang Yi

  Comments: 호스트가 궁금한 점이나 문제가 생겼을 때 바로 답장해주고 잘 대처해 줍니다. 숙소 위치가 센트럴파크랑도 어느정도 가까워서 시내에 돌아다니기 좋아요. 내부도 깔끔하고 편안합니다

• Reviewer: Anthony

  Comments: Erika is an awesome host. She made sure to communicate everything we needed to get in and make our stay as comfortable as possible. We look forward to staying again in the future.

• Reviewer: Victoria

  Comments: We had a great time staying at Erika’s place. So helpful and quick to respond! Made the stay easy and enjoyable!

• Reviewer: Cecilia

  Comments: Great value for money at Erika’s place. Amazing eateries nearby would definitely stay here again when in NY. The place is clean and comfortable and very close to the Subway. Definitely felt safe here, thanks again!

• Reviewer: Lori

  Comments: A gracious smile from our host Erika, with welcoming touches and offers to help with anything we needed during her busy work schedule, superb location, great functioning kitchen, a clean comfortable bed, a suitcase stand, good simple air conditioning, and ample space to move around, topped with the use of a luggage scale, gives Erika 5 outstanding stars and 2 thumbs up. Also the elevator was invaluable as compared to walking four flights up in other airbnbs I've stayed in near Columbia University. This would be my first choice and I would book again. I'm a seasoned international traveler and can recognize kind and excellent hospitality in a second. This is it.

• Reviewer: Marta

  Comments: We stayed with Erika in March and were so comfortable, decided to stay again. The location and easy access to subway, restaurants, etc. helps make our visit to a busy city more relaxed. Erika is a lovely host and we highly recommend her place!

• Reviewer: Rita (Go By Tona)

  Comments: The room is spacious enough for two people (I stayed with my mom), and it’s nicely decorated. Transportation was super easy; I’d recommend taking the bus early morning or late at night, otherwise, there’s lots of traffic. The line 1 (train/subway) is only a couple blocks away, which takes you pretty much anywhere in a short time (15-20 min). Also, there’s a park by the Hudson River also couple blocks away. We really liked staying here as it gave us a better sense of the regular daily lives of residents rather than just seeing the craziness of NYC. Erika was super kind and easy to reach via text. The only minor “complaint” is that the room is facing the street and it can get pretty loud, having us wake up in the middle of the night. I stayed with my mom, so we were home by midnight, but if you are out and about later than that, maybe the noise from outside won’t be an issue. Thank you Erika!

• Reviewer: Gretchen

  Comments: I loved staying here. Quiet. Clean. Safe. Erica is a great host. The room is realy cute and comfortable. I felt at home and very relaxed during my visit. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

• Reviewer: Mario

  Comments: Everything was great at Erika's place. My plane was delayed and I arrived at 3am but she found a way to let me in. Erika is very friendly and helpful. The room is very cozy and the flat is perfectly located in a great neighborhood. I would totally recommend it!

• Reviewer: Timmy

  Comments: Erika is very nice and the room is super! The mini lights bordering the window are a nice touch. The apartment is a hundred years old but it all works. The toaster toasts a perfect bagel. Thanks Erika, I’m sure others will enjoy a stay in your place as we did!

• Reviewer: Sandy

  Comments: The room looked exactly like the pictures and was bigger than what was shown. It was very comfortable and private. In the hot and humid New York summer, the air conditioning was a life saver. The room had easy access to the kitchen and the building elevator was quick and efficient. What was also great is how close the subway was. Erika was very responsive and made sure check in was smooth and I had everything I needed.

• Reviewer: Michelle

  Comments: Erika’s place is great! Location is close to the metro, room is comfortable with aircon, she responds right away for any question/request. Would love to stay again if I’ll go back to NY and definitely will recommend to my friends and family!

• Reviewer: Jiwen

  Comments: Erika’s place is FANTASTIC! The room is super clean and superbly and thoughtfully decorated. Bathroom is very clean as well! We arrived at around 11:30pm and Erika still waited for us to complete the check in process and showed us around. Erika is a wonderful host, and I thoroughly recommend her place to anyone who visits NYC!

• Reviewer: Yuexin

  Comments: The public transportation is very convenient. Room is clean and tidy and has a lot space to storage the stuff.

• Reviewer: Yohana

  Comments: Erika’s place was great! The room looks exactly like the picture and comes with ample amount of storage space for your items. Erika’s check-in involves a tour of the spaces and the kitchen amenities which was very helpful. Location is close to everything you could need and/or a subway that can take you there. Erika was very friendly and helpful & check-in & out was quick and easy! Would love to come back!

• Reviewer: Chantele

  Comments: A comfy bed, friendly housemates, and somwhere close to transport and other amenities. Some issues with cooling despite aircon- nobody’s fault, it is just the top floor of an old building and traps heat. Not ideal if you are sensitive to heat though. It was cool to see how New Yorkers live, rather than staying in a hotel.

• Reviewer: Erin

  Comments: Beautiful room and great location! The bed was very comfortable and the decor was nice and homey. Air conditioning is available and worked great! It’s a great room at a great rate!

• Reviewer: Lynn-Katrin

  Comments: We were super content with our stay at Erika's place. The communication with her was great, she reliably replied all messages quickly and friendly. The room and the apartment were very sweet, comfortable and clean and there was everything one needs. The apartment is very well located, one minute from the subway with two subway lines that bring you directly to the main places in Manhattan. We would stay at Erika's place again and can highly recommend it. Thank you very much for everything!

• Reviewer: Lulu

  Comments: 公寓位於安靜的住宅區,離地鐵站很近,附近也有不錯的餐廳｡入住時房東不在,但事前提供詳盡的入住說明可以快速入住,其他室友很友善｡由於停留時間短,沒有見到房東本人,期間如有問題,亦能親切地回覆｡

• Reviewer: Joren

  Comments: Erika's place is a great find and an almost unbeatable value for its price. You're close to the 125th street subway station, which is important because you'll have to use it a lot if you want to discover anything else than Harlem or the Columbia University area. It takes about 30 - 40 minutes to get to the city center. The place itself was as described: a room that accommodates two with nothing of note. It was airconditioned, roomy and quiet at night... so perfectly adequate! Don't expect too much from the common areas though, it's an older building with its blemishes and a private room in a shared appartement. We didn't get to meet Erika in person, but we got a very hospitable welcome from her roommate Ellen. In fact, her roommates were a real added value because they weren't only super welcoming, they also were our window into the twenty-something lifestyle in this wonderful city. In conclusion: this place is as authentic as they come and I would definitely recommend Erika's place if you're looking for an affordable place to stay.

• Reviewer: Tim

  Comments: Great host!

• Reviewer: Jennifer

  Comments: I loved staying at Erika’s place, it was such a good deal for a large room that is very close to the subway station. I didn’t even feel like I was sharing a space really, and I had everything I needed ready for me so I didn’t need any additional contact with Erika. Erika was also very helpful as she asked when I would be arriving and offered to let me keep my bags in her apartment well before check-in, that was so helpful. I definitely recommend this place!

• Reviewer: Ana

  Comments: Erika's room was very clean and super comfy. It's an antique building yet nice and tidy, makes it a unique experience. Although I didn't get to meet her, she was very attentive through messages, she gave me an my cousin fresh towels and bed linens.

• Reviewer: Lucia

  Comments: Very cute spacious apartment located close to the subway, easy access, fast communication. Definitely recommend!

• Reviewer: Emily

  Comments: Cozy and quiet space. Loved the 1920’s vintage building. Location was close to subway, bus, and coffee. We especially appreciated the deli down the street (Bahamas) that made delicious food on a budget. Thanks Erika!

• Reviewer: Dianne

  Comments: Erika's place was just what we needed for a comfortable bed and hot shower during our stay in New York. The neighborhood was relatively quiet and the subway was conveniently around the corner. The bedroom was clean and beautifully decorated. We never met Erika, but chatted with her roommates a couple of times, and Erika checked in with us to make sure everything was okay, and she responded to our questions instantly. The check-in was a breeze thanks to her clear instructions. In addition, Erika was very accommodating and understanding when I messed up our date of departure. She agreed to let us stay an additional, unplanned night since we were leaving at 3 am and she was still able to clean in time for the next guests. Highly recommend! Thank you, Erika!

• Reviewer: Melissa

  Comments: My stay with Erika and Ellen was perfect. Communication and check in procedures were great. The apartment is close to the subway and there are a lot of food options nearby. The room was exactly as pictured, beautifully decorated and clean. I didn’t meet Erika in person but she was made check in a breeze and was quick to respond. Ellen was kind and gracious when we chatted for a bit at the apartment. I would definitely stay here again.

• Reviewer: Gabriel

  Comments: El lugar supero las espectativas, muy buena ubicación cerca a estacion del subway, tiene lugares cercanos para comer, es seguro y confiable, recomendado, la comunicación con Erika fue perfecta, gracias.

• Reviewer: Liz

  Comments: Nice turn of the century building and elevator. Street a little noisy late, but it was a Saturday night in the big city. LOL Great building security. Nice location for visit to Grants tomb & Riverside Park area. Huge room, nice roommate. Very comfortable bed and linens. Great Breakfast place off Amsterdam looking forward to staying again.

• Reviewer: Lewis And Amy

  Comments: Erika and her roommate were very nice and helpful. The room is just as advertised and in a perfect location for visiting Columbia U as well as on the subway line. The only thing that surprised me was the noise from the heater when it came on - got used to it but I didn’t know ahead of time so took a minute to figure it out. Great value for staying in NYC.

• Reviewer: Seraina

  Comments: Erika and her roomate Ellen were very open and friendly hosts. The room was very nice and spacy. The heating pipes sometimes make some noise but nothing terrible. We would definitely come again and stay at your appartement.

• Reviewer: Migdalia

  Comments: Erika's place is warm and has an elevator, so no stairs to the 6th floor. Close to the train. Close to great foods. Not far away from Central Park, Broadway shows, time square,Rockefeller center. I will recommend Erika's place. She is a great host.

• Reviewer: Jessica

  Comments: My girlfriend and I LOVED our stay at Erika’s apartment. We were able to meet her when checking in, had a nice conversation, and got a tour. The apartment is exactly as photographed and a lovely home away from home. The layout is perfect for those wanting some peace, quiet, and privacy as well because the room is away from all other rooms only bordering the kitchen. The building is perfect and token “old New York” having been built in the early 1900’s (I believe). We were very comfortable and provided all fresh linens, towels, wash clothes, and shampoo and soap. Her apartment is very clean and I love the personalized touches. Thank you for a great experience and we’d love to return!

• Reviewer: Sandra

  Comments: Erika’s place worked out perfectly for visiting my son who is going to the Manhattan School of Music which is on the same street and a very short walk away. Check-in was clear and easy. I didn’t meet Erika, but she was very attentive through emails. I would definitely stay at her place again. it was my first time just staying in a room on Airbnb rather than having the whole place and I couldn’t have been more pleased.

• Reviewer: Maja

  Comments: This is such a nice room! Big, lots of light, clean! Theres a Subway right around the conor, and the a lot of small local shops. We came quite late to check in, but that was not a problem. The people who lives there keeps to them self.

• Reviewer: Jocelyn

  Comments: Great place to stay! Close to Harlem and Upper Manhattan and lovely apartment.

• Reviewer: Simone

  Comments: Erika's place is in a charming older building. The bedroom itself is nicely decorated, with a bathroom down the hall, and lots of thoughtful touches in the amenities. The only issue to be aware of is that the radiator in the bedroom is quite noisy at night; it woke us several times with banging noises.

• Reviewer: Mark

  Comments: Erika’s place was great and really convenient!

• Reviewer: Rupali

  Comments: The stay was amazing at Erika's. The location was perfect and had all tiny and good food places around. The room was cozy and was very well decorated.

• Reviewer: Carlos

  Comments: Nice place to stay specially if you need to attend some part of Morningside campus at the Columbia University, it is pretty close (3 blocks away). Also it is very close to the line 1 metro. The heating pipes make some sound sometimes. You must consider this if you cannot sleep well with sound.

• Reviewer: Joe

  Comments: Awesome place, could stay here again.
