My friend and I loved staying at Stan's place! The place was just as described. Things I especially loved include the cleanliness, kitchen (with the fridge, kitchenware, and everything equipped), private entrance, nice bathroom, great amenities (lots of towels), and good lighting. Compared to some places in Manhattan, the place obviously could not compete for convenience or sense of safety particularly at night, but I knew it going in given the distance from Manhattan and still chose Stan's place for the unbeatable price and value. It turned out to be a good decision. I'd definitely recommend if you're thinking about visiting NYC for more than a week!
