Luxx is a fantastic and responsive host who gave clear instructions and description of his apartment. Mind you, this is New York and while this location is super walkable, you're still close to Times Square which means there are quite a few homeless people around. We never felt unsafe though and loved how easily we could access the Theater district and subway.
You definitely want to like the person you're traveling with since this apartment is very small. The bed is comfy, the towels are big, the shower water is hot, and the apartment has everything you need for a nice stay in New York. We would absolutely stay here again.
