This is a clean, modern, apartment in a fantastic part of the LES. Everything worked well in the apartment and our hosts were as responsive as we needed them to be.
The apartment is good but the location is the best part. You are mere steps away from all kinds of great food. We had Chinese, Greek, and Pizza with only a very short walk to all of it. Plus, Doughnut Plant (fantastic) and Kossar's Deli (also fantastic) are about 300 feet away, so it's easy to get your morning coffee and breakfast. Lower LES, including the Battery are easily accessible from here on foot and you are less than 5 minutes from the subway, so it was easy for us to get to the West Village for dinners and Upper Manhattan to meet up with some friends.
The only negative is that you are above/beside a Dunkin Donuts, so on trash pickup day, there was a lot of garbage on the sidewalk waiting to be hauled away, in pretty close proximity to your front door. It also seemed to be a pretty busy street, so there was some noise but we slept well anyway.
This stay was another wonderful NYC experience for us and we can't wait to return.
