I stayed in Sylwia's apartment for two nights.
She is a nice host, we had some miscommunication about our checkin time but when this was solved she was easy to communicate with via SMS.

Apartment is great, looks exactly like the pictures, nice and clean.
Neighborhood is multicultural in a NY way which took some time for us Europeans to adjust to.

Trip to NYC takes at least 30 minutes, with different types of transportation like light rail subway etc.

Great place to stay if you are visiting NYC for a longer time, but if you have limited time to spend in the city I would advise you to rent a apt in Manhattan.
