The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive to all questions and needs, and the apartment is nice and secure, as well as within 10 minutes walk from the A train.
Admittedly it is very far out from downtown, but that should be evident from the map location, and it doesn’t take too long to get into the city by subway (40 minutes ish but it feels like less), and it is conveniently close to JFK airport!
The apartment itself is nice and feels secure, and nicely furnished and supplied for the most part, and the hosts are very welcoming. I would recommend it as long as you don’t mind the subway commute to downtown (which I didn’t)! (or if the things you need to do are in JFK or far out Brooklyn/Queens anyway)
