The place is not as great as it is publicized. In addition, when we reached, the place was not clean. Yasu and Akiko, after trying to reach them couple of times, responded after 45mins. They were patient in listening to my frustration and they apologized. They got the cleaning person to the place right away. They refunded 50% of my payment and I appreciated that. So overall, they are reasonable hosts.

Having said that, I will NOT stay there again. Put simply, I would NOT use airbnb again. I could have obtained a good double bed hotel room for similar price and there is nothing extra that I gained by using airbnb (or this place).

An unwanted piece of advise: do not use airbnb, especially, in NYC.
