Pros:
Location is great for going out - lots of restaurants and bars.
Good access to public transportation.
Cons:
Location is great for going out - lots of restaurants and bars. Which means that the noise level from partying people is excruciating all through the night.
Also, the apartment is located smack at the corner on 7th avenue, with heavy traffic and honking at all hours. Don't know of any sound-proof windows supposedly installed, because with the A/C installed it's like having an open window and the bedrooms are facing the street.

Many of the photos in the listing are from a different, albeit similar, apartment.
The one outside photo has nothing to do with the location at all. Quite disingenious, to be frank, because it suggests a rather quiet neighborhood/location - the exact opposite of what you will encounter. The entire block is bars, cafes and restaurants. Smack underneath the apartment is a cookie shop that plays loud music from 10am to 11 pm. Thumping bass in the apartment all day long!
Kitchen is very poorly equipped - some items like pan and kitchen knives completely unusable. In general, the place has a very run-down feeling to it. Maybe this is a cultural difference between US and Europe, but the apparent lack of caring that the owner has for this place is astonishing: Furniture and installations are in poor condition - some things even broken for probably a very long time.
