We spent 7 days in the Monika’s house. The house is really spacious and confortable (we were 7), with three bedrooms and two large and clean bathrooms. The living room is just as big as the photo shows and the kitchen is fully equipped. The house is conveniently located in a nice area of Brooklyn, close to the R metro line (no more than 5 minute walk) with lots of restaurants, pubs and shops in the neighbourhoods. Also Prospect park is very close and beautiful. We didn't meet Monika but she was constantly in contact with us by email.
I can just recommended Monika's house if you want to visit New York
