Giovanni was a great host - quick to respond and very accommodating. He gave us a great recommendation of a bar with views of the Brooklyn Bridge, and allowed us to leave our suitcases at the apartment before/after our reservation so we didn’t have to lug them around the city.
The place was as described and depicted in the photos, and an easy walk to and from the subway. As some other reviewers noted, you can hear the neighbors above you, but that’s to be expected in NYC. We would definitely stay again!
