While a nice apartment generally speaking (especially by the looks of the advertisement / listing alone), looks can be a bit deceiving depending on your goal. It must be understood the "host's" approach here is not comfort and a "do as little as possible" to pass muster. The location is for tourists and not that great at all (and noisy on weekends). So, if your goal is stay a week or two and explore NY for vacation (and you don't care about any comfort or quality), then it could be great. But, if your goal is longer range plans and work, I would not recommend this apartment at all.
