We stayed at David's (Mila's) place for 4 nights. Everything was as described, the flat is basically a basement apartment with everything you need (small kitchen, nice bathroom, spacious bedroom). If you are a very tall person (>1.85m) you might have to be careful with your head as the ceiling is quite low in some rooms :). Mila, who lives upstairs is a lovely woman who gave us helpful advices and told us some interesting stories from her live. We didn't meet David in person, but he stayed in contact via email during our stay. Nyc is easy and cheap to reach from the house via public transport (newark light rail and path). We would come again anytime.
