Lovely place - one stop away from Grand Central, really comfy apartment with everything you could need - it even has a washer/dryer!
The place was absolutely spotless when I arrived. Jim is a fantastic host, and I'm so glad I chose his place to stay while in New York.
Area is very safe - even at nearly 10pm I didn't feel unsafe walking down from the subway stop. There're plenty of places to eat and bars nearby, plus enough grocery stores/supermarkets nearby that you won't starve even if you don't like eating out.
