Description

This sunny prewar apartment is at the border of Morningside Heights in South Harlem, ideal for visiting scholars, faculty, and affiliates of Columbia University, Barnard College, Teachers College, the Jewish Theological Seminary, Union Theological Seminary, and the Manhattan School of Music. Bright, full of books, and homey, it combines classic NYC prewar charm with a welcoming, lived-in feel. It's perfect for working, reading, or relaxing. Located near Columbia University, steps from Morningside Park and Central Park, the apartment offers easy access to public transit (subway lines and buses), cafés, groceries, and a Saturday farmers market. With a relatively new stove and refrigerator, it’s fully equipped for longer stays while letting guests experience the character of a real NYC neighborhood. I am a Columbia University alumna and longtime host, offering this apartment to support visiting scholars. The apartment is non-smoking, and pets or (loud) parties are not permitted. Flexible dates are available, and guests are trusted to treat the home and building with respect.
