We had a wonderful 6-day trip to NYC, and staying at B's place worked out great for the two of us! He was a very helpful host, gave very clear check-in and out instructions, which worked smoothly, and also great suggestions for restaurants and other amenities in the area, and travel from JFK airport. His apartment is clean, the bed was comfortable, the heat worked great as we visited in December, and the kitchen includes everything you might want to use. The apt., which is up 5 flights of stairs, is centrally located to the subway, Times Square, Broadway and off-Broadway shows, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, and anything else you might want to visit in the city. We would definitely recommend staying at B's place!
