Colin was very helpful in connecting me with his roommate who let me in and gave me a set of keys. I felt comfortable in the apartment and all of his roommates were nice and welcoming. Really good wifi. The bedroom is right off the living room, which isn't the ideal spot, but it was fine. One other drawback is that the room does not have air conditioning. There is a fan to place in the window, and I found that to be completely fine, but if you're used to really cold AC it could get warm in the summer.

The apartment is in Park Slope in Brooklyn, and it's a super cute neighborhood. Easy walk to Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Museum. Also easy walk to train stations - it's about a 40 minute ride to go to Manhattan, but it's easy to do. And the apartment is right above a Starbucks, which is nice. Lots of other places for coffee and food on the same street as the apartment, too.
