Stayed here for our first time in NYC and it was great for 2 people. The hardest part was the 6 flights of stairs, but thanks to the heads up from other reviewers and the host we booked it knowing that we would have to take them on daily. It is a bit far from typical tourist attractions, so be ready to walk and shell out some money for cabs for the longer distances. Found some really great food spots less than 20 minutes away (walking) and we loved the slower-paced environment in East Harlem versus lower Manhattan. The host was also very attentive by checking in with us at least once every 2 days! A fully functional kitchen is available as well as a smart TV, just make sure you have your logins handy to use them.
