The apartment was fine for a weekend stay. I would recommend it if you are looking for a reasonably priced place to stay with good links to the city, but are not looking to cook for yourself at all (or if you are happy just to use the microwave).
Pros -

1. Vincent and his friend are really communicative and friendly, and flexible. They accommodated an early check in at short notice.
2. The location is excellent - you can walk to two stations within 5 - 8 minutes and take trains directly in to Manhattan
3. The area is nice - lots of good restaurants and supermarkets, and we felt safe at all times
4. Fast wifi is available and even a computer for your use if you don't have your own laptop and there is a good cable TV package

Cons -

1. The sound insulation is not good. We could hear (even late at night) the upstairs neighbours walking/opening drawers etc.
2. The kitchen is poorly equipped. Even though there is a big oven and fridge, there are no cooking utensils at all (no spatula, wooden spoon, chopping knife, tea towel/oven gloves etc - literally nothing). There is no kettle or toaster. There are 3 very small frying pans (not big enough for 2 people) and 1 huge sauce pan (way too big for 2 people).
3. The sink in the bathroom was dirty on arrival (some dark stains) - I cleaned it myself
