Room just like the picture. Nice and clean. Small , but I didn't go to NY to stay in. Comfortable for a good night sleep. There's lots around and lots just next door and across the street so don't expect just cricket noise at night. City noise but nothing crazy. I was there for a week so I purchased the metro card ($33/ 7days) at the airport. The subway is a 5 minute walk. All you could need is within walking distance - Restaurants, bars, cafes, pharmacy, clothing store, groceries, laundry.
Also, I'd like to mention that my trip was by myself and I felt safe during my stay. Vini's apt. is on the third floor and you need a key to get in the building. Plus, in general the neighborhood feels safe.
