We were a party of 8 and spent an exciting week in NYC hosted by Elizabeth. Elizabeth and her brother Ben were both very helpful and prompt in providing details for check in, on the apartment and on the area and everything went as smooth as possible. And on check out we could leave our luggage at Ben's for the whole day as we had a late flight - thanks!
The apartment was old but charming, steep staircases but not much of an issue for us but might be for elderly people. The kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, dishes, microwave and dishwasher.
The only issue was the pullout sofa, not very comfortable to sleep on so our friend preferred to sleep on the couch. For people sleeping in the living room it may be useful to have a wardrobe or some drawers, maybe in the small room leading to the outer patio.
Apart from that we highly recommend this place - very good position, plenty of room for large parties and excellent hosts.
