It is a great place. Mario is a great host and he has a very friendly and warm dog. We didn't talk much because I spent my days downtown but whenever needed Mario was prompt to help. The apartment is very organized and the common areas were all very clean as well as the room. It is super easy to get Midtown/Downtown with the subway station just a few blocks away and even though the neighborhood might seem a little sketchy I didn't have any problem walking there even late at night. Overall it is a great place for a good price in the city.
