We, a family with two children (14, 16), visited nyc for 5 days. Jim's beautiful and clean apartment was a perfect homebase for us. Close to subway stations, you'll be down town manhatten or at coney island quickly. Or you find beautiful places, restaurants, bars as well as everything you need for daily life in footwalking distance. Jim was a great host, check-in/-out and communication easy. We'll book the apartment again on our next trip to New York.
