I don't know what the place would be like for other people, I know it was good for me and worked out to be a good spot for my stay in NYC.
The bedroom is a good size, plenty storage space, big bed, own bathroom.
The metro (lines 1, 2, 3) is literarly 2 minutes away, very safe neighborghood (at any time), plenty of stores and not expensive places to eat nearby.
The area is fairly quiet.
Central Park 5 minutes away.
Just for the record, there is no elevator in the buildin: it might be a (minor) problem on arrival, otherwise it's no big deal..

Robert: very friendly, helpful and accommodating.
I had a problem that didn't seem to be his "fault" anyway, he did what he could to solve it. What you would expect from a good host.
