<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

Hi everyone! I'm new to personal finance, but I've seen some great stuff on here, so I'm hoping you can help me out. 

I'm moving out to New York this summer for a two month internship, and need an apartment. I've found what looks like a great 1 bedroom apartment in the Washington Heights/Inwood area for $1500, which is reasonable rent for those neighborhoods based on my research. 

My biggest challenge is that since I am from across the country, I am not able to go see this place or meet the tenants in person (or any others) in advance. 

I've Skyped with the tenants, and they seem like genuine people (I know that doesn't mean much, but it did make me feel better about everything). They gave me a virtual tour of the apartment. 

They also supplied me with a copy of their agreement with their landlord giving them written permission to rent the apartment for the time they are gone. I then called the property management company and confirmed that they are the tenants and do in fact have permission to sublet it. 

I've read through the proposed sublease multiple times, and everything looks good. 

The tenant has sent me a copy of their ID as well as a reference. 

As a final precaution, I've asked if I can have a friend come meet them and check out the place. They have been very open to that. 

The proposed payment right now is a bank (cashiers) check by Express Mail, for both month's rent as well as a $1500 security deposit, for a total of $4500. 

Basically, everything is checking out, but I'm still wary of getting burned. Is there any thing I am not thinking of? Does this sound legit? Would you guys rent this? Have any of you done something similar?

I'm looking for any advice/tips/personal experiences you can share dealing with renting on Craigslist and what to do or not do. 

Thanks so much!
