My 2 friends and I enjoyed our stay very much at Golsana's apartment and she was a great host! Not only was the loft very spacious, homely and welcoming - it was also beautifully decorated with quirky design touches and exuded a great amount of character. It definitely gave us an authentic taste of Brooklyn. Location was also convenient enough (approximately 10 minutes walk to the nearest subway station) and very safe to wander around. The apartment building was unfortunately going through a construction process during our stay and it got a bit noisy in the mornings. She was nevertheless, very apologetic about the whole matter although it wasn't her fault.
Golsana was always very quick with her responses to me and was very communicative prior and throughout our stay to make sure we settled in comfortably and well. We met her at the apartment a few nights prior to our stay to pick up the keys and got a quick rundown of her place and the amenities she provided. She also thoughtfully gave us a list of recommendations for places to go, eat and drink around the neighbourhood. It was a helpful guide and we got to experience Brooklyn from a local's point of view.
She was very kind towards our request for a last minute guest and even supplied us with extra bedding and a mattress for the third person's added comfort - a nice welcoming gesture. We also appreciated that she could accommodate us for a late check-out as our flight wasn't until 11pm.
It was a great Airbnb experience and seeing as how everything was exactly as described, I do recommend this charming space to fellow travelers looking for a different New York experience!
