This place was exactly as advertised... it's cheap, it's safe, it's clean, and it's well-maintained, and relatively close to an express line subway stop. There's no frills, but it doesn't advertise any either, and it's an up-and-coming neighborhood that was enjoyable to live in.
The owner/management did and excellent job of making the stay hospitable, easy, etc, and I have no complaints about them at all.
The one issue that I did have (which people should be aware of) was that as soon as it started to get cold, the heat went on full blast and couldn't be turned off - ever. I guess it's an issue with the building itself. However, the management was kind enough to put a window a/c in so I could balance out the heat... and it worked perfectly fine, and I was comfortable for the rest of my stay. They made this fix almost immediately, and it was greatly appreciated.
If you're looking for an affordable, extended-stay place in NYC, this is a good option for you.
