Cluade is a great host. Three of us stayed there for 3 days and we had no problems. The place is very secure. We left a lot of valuables like our laptop and camera's in the room and they were untouched. The best part would be the location (Truly in the heart of Times Square) and the privacy. Even though you share the room with Claude, you would have your privacy and you wont realize he is staying with you. Also he's out most of the day. I would definitely stay there the next time.
