Yemi is perfect host - goes out of his way to accomodate/help you, and responds in minutes. He even checked on us every few days since we were staying for 10 days. Apartment is clean and room is spacious, and has everything you need. Value for money really good. Subway is 5 mins walking and you'll be in most Manhattan locations you'll be visiting in 45 mins to an hour. Neighborhood is a bit sketchy but we didn't have any problems ourself, i guess if you only get to and from subway it should be fine.
