Marcelo is the best. Everyhting is as described and mentioned. He gave us the best options about dining, shopping, transportation and also we had a very informative tour around the apartment.

There is a subway entrance just less than a minute away at the same street, times square is a block away, empire states is in 15 minutes walking distance, 5th Avenue is reachable in 5-10 minutes. Uptown and downtown both subway rides takes like 15-20 minutes. We also walked up to Central Park which would have taken like 10 minutes by subway instead of 20-30 minutes of walk. (There was a temporary construction at subway during our stay by downtown, so some delays and extra subway changes by some stops)

We have taken the bus from JFK, depending on traffic it may take up to 90 minutes (we were lucky that it took less than an hour for us) and drops you on 42nd street, next street to the apartment. Main bus station (port authority) is just on next street where you can take a bus to New Jersey.

We had a snowy day and really cold days in New York (around 2 degrees celcius) but never felt cold inside, apartment is well heated with some additional external heaters as well.

Perfect wifi.

I would stay again if I would visit NYC without hesitation.

Visited as a young couple.
