Place seems like it was renovated recently and is pretty clean. There are lots of cleaning supplies and a vacuum in the apartment which is great for long term stays. Bed is very large and comfortable. There are two windows near the bed that face a building that is 3 feet away so you won't get too much sunlight.
Heating works great! Shower is hot (you have to give it a minute) and the water flow is strong.
The neighbors are pretty quite, but the sound isolation isn't very robust- when people walk by your door, you will hear them (this was not an issue at all).
This unit is located right above a bar. On Saturdays they play music until 3am which you can just barely hear from the apartment. It didn't bother me at all. During the rest of the week the place was pretty quite (except for the sounds you hear all over NYC, such as the fire dept or police sirens).
When I moved in a few things were missing, and the host very nicely put in an order and got me most of those things within 2 days.
