Ephraim's apartment is exactly as cosy and clean as it is in the pictures. We had a great time in NYC and we enjoyed it very much to call his place our "home" for two weeks. Ephraim is a perfect host. Everything worked smoothly and when we had a request he was super quick to meet it. Be aware that it is a 20-30 minutes' subway ride the standard New York sights (we didn't mind). I can only recommend this place emphatically.
