Dorion's place is exactly as described. Our first impression was how clean it looked and smelled. He even put water in the fridge, which was a very nice gesture. It is well-equiped, though if you plan on cooking for more than two it can be a little challenging. He's got a very cool entrance system, so you don't even have to worry about carrying around keys. The apartment is on basement level, which might be something to consider if you have issues with bugs like me (during our stay we found a huge cockroach inside the apartment and then another one dead outside the apartment, in the porch), considering that New York is not the cleanest city. Beds were super comfy, which is always something to keep in mind in a place where you know you are going to be walking a lot. The apartment in general is very well-equiped, has plenty of furniture and he even provides clean towels and toiletries. There's a train station at about three blocks from the place which takes you to Manhattan in about 30 minutes. The area where the apartment is located is not the greatest. We have stayed before in Long Island City and Queens and it was definetly better. This area is not the cleanest or the safest. We personally did not have an issue, but if you are not used to moving around dark areas and not so touristie this might be an issue, since it does give out a bit of the shady vibe. I would just recommend being alert. Finally, when it comes to parking we did not have issues with it. You just need to be aware of the signs for cleaning hours, and though at some hours it was a bit more difficult to find a spot, we always manage to find one. I would highly recommend staying at Dorion's, especially if you are a large group and plan on renting the whole place.
