The second-floor apartment has a generously sized living room and bedroom, with high ceilings and wood floors. As in all units of this vintage, the bath and kitchen are compact. The space is clean and comfortable. As others have mentioned, this is not a 'designer space' but it's tidy and comfortable. The mattress in the bedroom is very nice. The air conditioner in the bedroom works well.
I'm a 66 year old anglo woman. I walked alone late at night from the 168th Street subway station and never felt uncomfortable. Broadway is busy with street musicians, shoppers, children, and conversation groups well past midnight. 162nd street from Broadway to the apartment is much quieter, with the occasional walker and small groups of friends. No one gave me a second glance. if I had encountered problems, I'm pretty sure someone would have come to my aid.
