This is a pretty, very clean apartment. It is really only two rooms plus bath, but there is plenty of room for two people. A futon doubles as an extra bed and the sofa for the apt. The bed is in the front of the apartment, close to the windows, so street noise is a problem if the windows are open, but with the colder weather coming we had them closed for sleeping and the noise wasn't too much of an issue. There is no cable, so no television. They do supply DVD's for your entertainment though. Because it is a Victorian style apt, the fixtures are older.
Communication was wonderful, and any questions we had were answered promptly. We found street parking a couple blocks away, which was a concern since the NYC Marathon was taking place the weekend we stayed. The apt. is not far from the subway entrances - and we walked to grocery stores and restaurants that are just blocks away. Check-in/ Check-out was easy and clear with directions emailed in advance, and they had a nice manual with instructions and restaurant recommendations listed. We did have a minor problem with the Wi-Fi, but that was straightened out quickly.
Our hosts did not come down to meet us, so I did pop my head out of the room to say hello when we heard Alison out in the hallway. This is our first experience with an Airbnb, so maybe this is the norm?
I would recommend this to a friend, and we would stay here again.
