We had a great experience. When you think garden apartment space in an urban area of New York city you worry (at least I do) that you are not sharing the space with critters of any kind. No worries on that count! The area we had to ourselves was newly renovated, IMMACULATELY clean, private, and spacious and the temperature was comfortable despite it being raw outside. The bathroom space was lovely. The location, near my family whom we were visiting was fantastic. Near the Q line but be forewarned that any foray into Manhattan from this locale is somewhat time consuming so plan accordingly.
