Pros: Karen and Julian were very quick to respond when I messaged them. Getting into the apartment were quick and easy. Location to the subway and private driveway for my car were great. Its basement location made the apartment relatively cool in the hot New York summer.
Cons: Cleanliness-- The mattress cover under the sheets had an old blood stain on it (which we didn't realize until we stripped the bedding at the end of our stay). The tile floors felt grimy against my bare feet (and left our soles black). The mattress should be replaced. as it was old, soft and lumpy. Also, the WIFI was painfully slow!!
