Pros: Neat and nice places, safe and tidy for one to two person. Good location, close to subway and bus. Host response promptly, a very good experience. Best value for money. I was not very used to cold weather and made an extra request, they gave me their extra heater, which is very kind and caring.
Cons: if you are a single girl and new to New York, do not cross north of 125 street at night, it is well known the security is real bad after dark.
