Exactly as described in Mike's listing, this is great value for money in an excellent location. As stated, it's a basement apartment in an old building, but the bed and sofa are comfortable, and there's everything you need for your stay. The kitchen is small but serviceable, with all the basics (electric kettle, toaster, coffee machine, microwave) and plenty of plates, dishes, and cutlery. The shower pressure is good, and the water hot. The prime selling point of course is location, LIC is one of my favourite NY neighbourhoods at the moment, and the apartment is on a quiet street but yards away from the cafes, bars, and restaurants of Vernon Ave, with an excellent Japanese cafe/izakaya at the top of the street, and a fine bar (Dominies Hoek) just round the corner. And of course, with midtown Manhattan only a block away, the value for money is impressive. It's not an apartment you'd want to spend lots of time relaxing in (though when the weather is better the patio looks as if it would be nice to sit in at night), but as a base for exploring it's ideal. The only proviso I'd mention is that if you visit in that not-so-sweet point where the temperatures are in the high 50's (and thus NYC landlords are not obligated to provide heat) the apartment can be a little chilly. Not a problem sleeping as blankets are provided, but if you do happen to visit in those few weeks where the NY temps are in the high fifties/low sixties you may want to make sure you have a sweater. Notwithstanding this minor point, the location and value for money make this a valuable asset on Airbnb in NYC.
