Asia and Marvin were awesome. Super responsive to every need that came up. Very patient with all my "first time in NYC" questions. :)
The house was a bit unconventional (in my experience) but clean, comfortable and large. Space was no problem for 5 people sleeping, eating and lounging. We didn't really use any of the appliances for cooking but the refrigerator was spacious and the laundry machines worked well.
We really enjoyed the neighborhood. We felt very safe and walked around quite a bit - even at night. Great local places to eat just one block over. Easy access to the subway. Both small and medium sized grocery stores within a block or two. There was even a major office supply store within a few minutes walk (which came in quite handy when we found the need to print something).
The whole experience was a nice taste of NYC that wasn't just staying in another hotel room in a tourist area.
