Louie's place is amazing & he's an awesome host! It's a very spacious apartment and extremely clean and comfortable. The location is great - about a 20-25 minute walk to lots of places including Penn Station, Times Square, midtown. Super safe area.
One thing to be mindful of if booking (this is NOT the host's fault at all!) is that the area has a lot of construction and you're in the heart of the city, so it's noisy. Same goes if you use the AC - it's a window unit, which is standard. Again, these are NOT problems with the place and it's expected if you come to the city. Just keep that in mind!
This place is an amazing value and it's SO nice inside. Louie is super responsive and accommodating as well - he got me in at the last minute and had great communication. Definitely recommend and I'd love to be back if I ever find myself back here.
