We stay there for 10 days with 3 adults and 4 teenagers end of october 2015. If you plan a trip to visit NY this is the perfect place. Idealy located in a vibrant historic area, you can almost walk Manathan from there. A few minute from the flat you can cross walk the east river to join Brooklyn and Williamburg.
The apartment is very spacious and bright although the noise of the street are presents (but remember you are in NY and noise is every where). I would recommend earplug for a safer night.
Ali, the host, has been perfect to welcome us and came to solve a heating problem in a snap.
All in one, a 5 stars experience.
