Skip is a really good and kind host, which answers all your questions and helps you the best way he can, so you get to see what you really want to.
He was also kind helping us getting a doctor appointment for an infected eye. He was really helpful.
Also, the room was nice, not for spending numerous days, but it was good to sleep in, and for us, pretty comfortable pillows and blankets!
It does seem a bit worn out, but all of that is nothing, when you have Skip as your host. I would recommend this place to stay for anybody going to see Manhattan and Brooklyn, as it's pretty central (2 stops from Manhattan) and a large subwaystation is really close nearby, so you have easy acces to rest of NY. We really enjoyed our stay and would return to live with Skips another time.
