Although small, the apartment had everything we (a couple) needed for our extended week long stay to explore New York City. Groceries, laundry, subway a few blocks away, restaurant in the basement (we did not try it but looks nice). The kitchen is reasonably well equipped for this size; there is a slight tilt in the floor which initially felt weird but one can quickly get used to it. In the end staying in a tiny apartment in an old quirky building seems like the authentic NYC experience as this is what many locals have too, we did not mind it.
