Our stay in Gin's place was okay however we had some issues that made the experience far from perfect.
Pros:
The bedding and towels were clean and there were plenty of towels available.
The water pressure and heat in the shower and sinks were great.
There's a convenience store/bodega at the end of the block for any small or quick purchases you may need to make.
Times Square is a roughly 40 minute train ride from the studio.

Cons:
Communication was ok - we asked for a late checkout and only received a response two months later, by which time we had made alternative plans. There was zero communication during our stay, not even to as if we had arrived or if everything was okay.
The apartment had some cleaning issues, e.g. the fridge and other kitchen appliances were dirty, and so were the bathroom wall tiles.
We also feel like we shouldn't be asked to run the dishwasher and strip the bed when we're paying an $100 cleaning fee.
Despite being noted in the listing, there were no salt, pepper, or oil so it was an inconvenience to make even basic meals.
We were only provided with two toilet papers for eight nights which ran out midway through our stay.
The blinds are see-through, far from ideal in a ground floor apartment where homeless people dig through the bins right outside the window. We had to stick plastic bags on the windows to have some privacy.
Gin was responsive when we mentioned the cleaning issues and she agreed to refund us 50% of the cleaning fee.
All in all, we feel there are many improvements to be made until we could recommended the place to others.
