The apartment is on the third floor (no elevator) and was comfortable for five people, the kitchen functional, and the bathroom nice and big. The really apartment needs a big mirror though and some hangers for towels and such (bigger issue than you think). It could also have been cleaner, especially the fridge, but we could live with it. We also needed more glasses/mugs.

The neighborhood is nice and quiet, close to central park on the one side and Columbia uni on the other (lots of grocery stores and restaurants nearby on Broadway).

Thomas was a great host, easily accessible by phone/text, attended to our needs (like getting two sets of keys instead of one), and was friendly.
