I had a really wonderful time in Igor and Gita's place. I was studying in New York and so booked to stay there for roughly 3 weeks. It was an extremely warm and welcoming environment that I felt very at home in - the perfect retreat from the sometimes overwhelming nature of New York! The flat is perfectly located for access to Manhattan - either a very short walk to the subway or, as I often chose to do, a beautiful wander across Prospect Park, which is essentially on the doorstep. There are several good supermarkets/laundrettes etc. roughly 2-3 minutes walk from the flat, and I never felt unsafe in the area on the nights that I was returning late.
Igor knows a lot about music (Jazz in particular) and was incredibly generous with his knowledge and experience of the music scene in Brooklyn/Manhattan. The flat is a treasure trove of books on art/music/film/etc. and it was sometimes difficult to tear myself away from the place. Certainly if you're interested in the arts and culture you'll feel very at home here.
I will 100% check first to see if this place is available the next time I am in New York (soon I hope). Compared to other Airbnb places I've stayed this felt like a real gem.
