We (couple + 13 yo) stayed in Antonio's appartment for the pre-Easter week in April 2014. We found the appartment mostly as described in the airbnb profile. (One small downside for us was the missing opportunity to seat more than 2 people for breakfast/dinner - the armchair and table from the foto seem to have vanished somewhere; but in the end: you don't go to NYC to eat in your appartment ..)
Email contact with Antonio was easy, quick, and responsive. While we would perhaps replace the "luxury" in the description with "comfortable", we liked the place and would have loved to stay longer. Manhattan is easily reachable from there by subway; and we took the opportunity of great walks over Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, and Williamsburg Bridge over to Manhattan. Don't miss that when weather allows!
When we arrived on a Saturday, we took a rental car at LaGuardia airport for a day, which spared us 35$ for the cab and gave us the opportunity of a great sightseeing tour through Manhattan on Sunday morning without any serious traffic. Overnight parking opportunities in Pulaski street were available without problems.
