As others have mentioned here, the pictures don't really do the entire place justice. It's much nicer than the photos. There are a lot of little details that indicate someone genuinely lived here for a while, and elegantly thought out the design of the apartment for long stays. I've been in a few AirBnBs that feel a bit barren, and are missing some obvious things, but not this apt. The bathroom was really nice, and each room has dimming lights, which is a really cool touch. Everything was super clean, and the kitchen is extremely well appointed. You can cook just about anything with what's provided. Unfortunately, I didn't get to use the kitchen that much because they were repairing the gas lines in the building. I don't think it'll be an issue in the future, just unfortunate timing for me.
The only downside to the place is that, while the apartment is modern, the building is old (like most of NYC). It's steam heated and the room is on the first floor... so when the heat is on, you can certainly hear it happening in the basement. This didn't bother me too much, as I'm used to NYC apartments and the ambient noise. Street noise was minimal though, as the apartment is deeper into a quiet street.
I highly recommend this place to people that want to stay for long or short. Albert was extremely accommodative throughout my trip, and any issues were quickly dealt with. If I were coming to NYC again, I would definitely stay here again.
