Well-managed place, good landlady Mavi G

Pros

I lived in her apartment with other Columbia University students for two years. She provides housing to Columbia University students and makes sure the place stays clean, safe, and in shape so is quick to solve the problems. I would recommend her to any international student looking for a comfortable, safe, well-managed place to live and a smooth start up in the city

Cons

summer time the neighbors play music on the street
