The apartment is just one minute away from the Metro (Van Siclen). I didn't do the research so I was surprised that it's quite far away from downtown Manhattan, etc (40 to 50 minutes by metro). I was a little bit intimidated by the neighborhood, I must confess. At first sight it made a quite dirty impression and I was irritated by the high fences surrounding the houses. But after some days I felt safe and comfortable. I stayed for four days.
The apartment was clean but didn't fit my expectations regarding the photos. It's functional but not as fancy as it appears on the photos. I missed some things that would be helpful in the kitchen, for example a kettle, potholders or dish towels.
You don't see much of other guests or of the hosts. But every time I met someone they were very kind and helpful.
All in all I had a pleasant stay.
