Monica's is a GREAT place to stay at in Brooklyn! You have beautiful Prospect Park right across the street from you (I'm not a runner but the first day, I lapped it twice and it was designed by the same people who designed Central Park so it is a mini version of CP), a subway station that takes you to Times Square right around the corner, and many places to eat and drink within walking distance. Everything was as detailed in the listing's pictures and the post-it notes around the apartment showing where things are is great! Plus the personal greeting upon arrival and the guide of the surrounding neighborhoods were very nice.

Unfortunately, Monica wasn't around much, but the few times we were able to converse she was very easy to speak with which made my first Airbnb experience so much easier than anticipated.

All in all, if you can stay at her place, do yourself a favor and book it.

PS: The neighborhood is actually safe at night. I would know this because I came back from Manhattan very late at night a few times without a hassle.
