Martin and Natalia are great hosts. They gave us such a warm welcome, showing us the flat and giving us tips for places to eat and grab groceries. The apartment is simply furnished - just a futon, table and chairs really. It's all we needed (and A/C... the A/C was a blessing), but others might want some more seating or something. The one downside was the bed. It's extremely hard and squeaky! We were ok with it, but if you like soft beds or wake up easily, this is not the bed for you.
Other than that it's a great place -- very secure and private. And of course, it's in a fantastic spot; Palermo Soho is lively, fun, and super walkable.
