We stayed at Jims place for 9 days recently.
Pros:
The apartment is in an awesome location and was a really nice size (true 2 bedrooms) for the price.
The apartment is very "new York" with the exposed brick and original features.
Jim was a really nice host and communication with his was fast and easy.
Beds and bedding/linens/TV were brand new.
Huge walk in closet in one bedroom.
Cons:
The kitchen is pretty rough. There is a new dishwasher but it wasn't hooked up yet when we were there.
The hallways and kitchen floors were very dirty.
There is only one A/C and it's in one bedroom - a few nights were uncomfortably hot in the other bedroom. There are ceiling fans though which helped a bit.
Overall, we liked Jims and would stay there again - especially if it gets a good cleaning.
