I stayed at Ofer's place for 6 weeks on a work trip. My office is located in SoHo so this apartment was only a short 20min walk to and from work. Located very convenient to Chinatown, East Village and SoHo/NoLita. The area itself is very lively, lots of bars and restaurants around but being just off Delancey street, unfortunately if you're not used to NY noise, it is rather a noisy apartment. The other residents who live in the building are quite young and you can pretty much hear everything when people go up and down the stairwell. I ended up sleeping with earplugs to block out the street noise. I informed Ofer of the noisy residents and he did speak to the building management for me which I appreciated.
The apartment itself is quite small and cosy (definitely 2 people max!) it's also an old and historic building and could use a bit of a face lift (lick of paint here and there, some cracked bathroom floor tiles need replacing ) but has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Plenty of extra bed linen and towels, hairdryer, hangers, mini ironing board, pots, pans and cooking utensils in the kitchen.
The shower could be a bit temperamental at times. It seemed to have hot water for about 10mins in the early morning then run out. Maybe because everyone in the building was showering at the same time? When I showered at other times in the day this was not an issue.
Although it was quite cold in NY for most of my stay, there were some days and nights when it was extremely hot and although it's listed as an amenity, there didn't seem to be any air conditioning (unless it wasn't installed because it's not yet summer?) I used the fan that was in the apartment and slept with the window open.

During my stay I did not manage to meet Ofer, he arranged for his house keeper to be at the apartment upon check in to greet me and he whatsapped or called me if I needed help.
Overall a good stay but would definitely recommend to a younger crowd who don't mind a lively neighbourhood. Me? I think I'm getting a bit old haha.
