Ben is a great host and the apartment is very nicely decorated and very clean. The location is also terrific. One small caveat is that as this is clearly Ben's full-time home, there isn't a great deal of unoccupied storage space (this is NY after all, where space is hard to find!), so finding a place to put your "stuff" can be a bit challenging. I made it work and had a terrific time, but this might be an issue for others.
