Aleks place was huge and in a great location.
Unfortunately the rumblings of the subway as mentioned in other reviews was much too loud for me and I am accustomed to loud NYC living. The subway passes under the apartment and the vibrations are just unsettling. The train passes all day long so something to be mindful of if booking.
The apartment itself felt very studenty. Lots of mismatched, broken furniture and uncomfortable couches covered in bed sheets due to staining, lack of natural light. I think this is a great place to stay if you are in and out throughout the day and want something cheap. The beds are comfortable, but I was working from home and spent most of the day in the apartment which was somewhat miserable.
Alek was very accommodating with my two dogs who stayed with me and communication was excellent.
