Gya was awesome. Prior to my arrival I emailed her to tell her my bus would be late and she was very understanding. Upon arrival she was there to greet us and showed us around her apartment. I can honestly say, the pictures does not do the apartment justice. The atmosphere of the apartment is very welcoming and rich with culture. I arrived with 3 friends and so one slept on the couch (that could be converted into a bed) and my friend and I slept in one of the bedrooms. The living arrangement was fine, nobody was cramped. Gya's apartment can fit around 4 people comfortable. Overall our stay was perfect. We got our own key to come and go as we please. Gya lives there too but we hardly saw here unless we txted her or she wanted to give us directions ( literally)!! This is my first time using airbnb so i was a bit skeptical, but Gya made my stay very welcoming. I am sure when I return to New York I will want to stay at Gya's.

P.s. If you want to know about any good events to hit up or want to hit up Brooklyn hotspots ( thrift shops) Gya is the place to go. She can direct you, and if she does not know ( which is unlikely) she has plenty of friends who she can ask.
