I have high expectations but if I could give this listing 6 stars, I definitely would do so in this case. Their place is absolutely spotless and in pristine condition from corner to corner. Kudos to whoever does their cleaning. The cleaner must be a supremely detail-oriented person.
The apartment is spacious and well thought-out. It has everything you need. It clearly was renovated with high end finishes from top to bottom very recently.
Of note... I asked a small favor about checking out and Shemi replied in seconds to approve graciously and without hesitation. A small thing helped me in a big way. This host represents the FINEST of what AirBnB is all about.
Of note, the subway station is a 5-10 minute walks so it was easy for me to make my way to Manhattan for business meetings.
Note that the surrounding neighborhood is not gentrified so it's not on a "high-income" block. Nonetheless everyone around this building was very nice to me, and neighbors seemed friendly with one another, even late at night. I personally found it quite pleasant and down to Earth. If a visitor was looking for a squeaky clean neighborhood with fancy restaurants in the nearby couple of blocks, where you could eat off the sidewalks, this would not be the right place for you. Those are not my requirements though. I can certainly walk a few blocks to get to schnazzy restaurants. I feel like the price fairly reflects the neighborhood since the same apartment would cost $200-300/night+ more in a gentrified neighborhood. I can assure that it's definitely a great value for the money. And still, you get a beautiful and clean apartment.
