David's place is spacious, comfortable, and clean. I very much enjoyed my stay there. You can hear the airplanes, although that didn't bother me. The first night there were kids outside our window, but they went away when we asked. We got ear plugs after that. It's New York, so it's a busy loud city and to be expected, although David's neighborhood is quieter than many others.
David was easy to reach and helpful. He let us park in his driveway so we didn't have to find street parking.
On another note, if you get a chance, Sripraphai, a nearby Thai restaurant, is to die for and some of the best in the city.
