This space was actually much larger than I expected. The inside was pretty clean, although it is an old building and difficult to get it up to the standards of newer buildings. The bedroom was really cozy and the bed was very comfortable. It was hot when we visited but the air conditioning units did a pretty good job. The outside smelled constantly of trash due to the trash cans being set by the staircase and the block we were on had some homeless people and was slightly dirty. I would have appreciated being prepared for this although I would visit again.
The price was very reasonable for the space and Sun was a very considerate and responsive host. The apartment is conveniently located right next to a subway stop and a doable walk from the Botanical Garden and the museum (although it is on a slight incline). Tony's pizza around the corner on the next block was the real New York experience and Prospect Park was really cool.
In all, everything that Sun had control of was very nice and he was a great host. I would have simply liked to be able to match my expectations a little more closely to what the reality is and I hope this review will do that. In all, we had a pleasant stay and felt like we had a realistic experience of New York life!
