Candice was nice and the apartment is in a fair location (the building is old and not quite clean, although the neighborhood seems safe and at night is quiet), but we can't recommend the place mainly because of the air conditioning unit.
First, it's located on the window right beside the bed, and it's really noisy. Candice said it was pretty common in NY, but last time I was there the flat had a different sistem, similar to the ones we have here in Europe, and noise was not a problem. in Candice's apartment, though, you can't have it on during the night if you want to sleep. You can't even watch tv.
But the worse part wasn't the apartment's unit, but the one on top. Apparently it wasn't working properly and it kept dripping water over ours. The drops beating the metal of the machine made a constant very annoying noise, usually during the whole night. It was very difficult to catch some sleep.
When I mentioned this to Candice she was already aware of that. Apparently she tried to fix it putting a jar under the dripping, but the water started to fall from a different point. She was only able to provide us with earplugs.
That kind of made our stay uncomfortable and we were tired during the day because the lack of sleep. We wouldn't have booked the room if we had known all this.
We also missed a full set of towels (there was, but only big ones).
