We stayed at the apartment only for a few days in the pre-christmas time. Communication with Alan and the check-in and check-out were perfect, he replied immediately to our questions and was really flexible with our arriving and departure time. The apartment itself is really cozy, looks even cozier than on the photos. There was everything we needed for our stay and it was super clean. We didn't use the kitchen, because we did not stay long and there are a lot of restaurants nearby...Park Slope is a really nice area and not far to get to Manhattan. We can definitely recommend this apartment for your stay in New York City!
