My wife and I stayed at the apartment during our trip to New York. Check in/out was easy, the apartment nicely decorated and comfortable. It's close to the Metro station and in a quiet area. The transit time to Manhattan was about 30min. Supermarkets are near by and the apartment has the necessary appliances to prepare breakfast or a quick meal. Ted was very quick to respond to our questions while organizing our trip and made us feel welcome and relaxed. We had a great time and would recommend staying at his place to anyone traveling to New York.
