Neil and Katie's place is great! The neighborhood is super entertaining and safe, the apartment is on the first floor, and the rooftop has an incredible view of Midtown and the Empire State Building in one direction and Manhattan and the Freedom Tower in the other. Staying in a real NYC apartment made out stay so much better than when we have stayed in hotels. It's also not as cramped as a standard NYC apartment and has a full kitchen. Neil and Katie were wonderful hosts, their place was very comfortable, and I absolutely recommend staying there!
