This house is worth the visit to NY (:-) (:-)
Seriously, this is the best Airbnb we´ve stayed (and we´ve stayed in quite a few in Europe and the US). We were a family of 5 people from Spain and spent 8 days this Christmas in the apartment.
Shaq and Adifa are the perfect hosts. The apartment is massive and very well distributed. It is full of little details that make you feel at home: i.e. umbrellas for the rainy days; coffee/tea and other compliments for the first night/day; etc. It is exactly as advertised in Airbnb.
The neighbourhood is ok: a bit noisy some nights but we always felt safe. We took the subway (line A/C) to Manhattan all the time and it worked well for us.
We will certainly return to NY in the future and this apartment will be our first choice of accommodation.
