This is not a 5 Star apartment but there again you are not paying a 5 Star price! You are paying for a well appointed self contained basement flat. Cooker, bed and fridge were clearly new but on the downside is little ambient light in the living area, coming mainly from some small windows in the bedroom. That said this is New York and you are not going to be sitting in. Transport to Manhattan is easily accessible. The shower was excellent, likewise the kitchen. Fred is a genuine caring man who made us feel welcome and cared for. The only negative for me was the sofa bed. In my opinion it should be replaced - I am a solid 6 footer and could not get a good nights sleep. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
