Highly recommended - Thomas is a charming and very helpful host. The location is exceptional - the neighborhood itself is great and getting places is very convenient. We were able to mostly walk everywhere and biked a bit with Citibike. The upstairs terrace is also really enjoyable and quiet.
The room is quite small so a small bag is recommended - the bed is very good, which is worth noting. It was generally pretty quiet, except on the Friday night were some neighbors were having a party (the area looks pretty popular with the students) - this is New York so obviously par for the course.
As others have noted, this is located on the 6th floor with no elevator.
