Having

It's nice having a man who actively encourages me to spendmoney.
I saw the above sentence at Cambridge dictionary.
What part of speech is " having" here ? And what it's function?
Can we replace it with " nice to have a man..." Would that make a difference to the sentence grammatically?
Thanks
