I stayed 3 months at Kazuya's apartment, from March to June, and I would definitely recommend this place ! Kazuya wasn't living in the apt - I was with three roomates -, but he was really helpful with any issues or questions I may have had. The apt is well located: tree blocs from the 7 trains, and you are in Manhattan really quickly. There is a laundromat at the corner and plenty of groceries shops. The area is lovely and safe. The apt itself is nice, at the 2nd floor of an house. My room wasn't really big but it was big enough for me. You can close the room from the inside, and when you live, there is a locker to close the closet. Plus, AC in summer and radiator in winter. I recommend!
