Staying here was a pleasant experience. Anthony as a host was adequately professional, but you should give him about an hour to make sure he reads any of your messages, which was not a problem for me. Anthony's roommate was also very helpful when I need help with keys and some questions.

About the place itself, I'd say the neighborhood is safe during the day, and relatively normal during the night. Bed was comfy, bedsheets and bathroom were clean; be aware that you will have to wear your shoes around the house, and you probably also need to bring shower shoes. Staying during hot weather would require the windows to be opened for air/air conditioner, and hence the traffic noises from the streets below... but you know, it's Manhattan, no biggie. The city view kinda makes up for the noises.

From the place, it's a 6-min walk to subway, 20-min walk to Madison Square Park, 3-min walk to Starbucks, 5-min walk to many Indian and Chinese restaurants. There's also an AMC theatre two blocks away, and the view both at night and during the day was great as pictured. In overall, I think this is a great place to stay solo in NYC.
