Golsana was not able to meet us on our day of arrival, but she had her friends to welcome us and handed us the keys to the apartment. Prior to our arrival, Golsana was very responsive to our emails and also gave suggestions on nearby places to visit during our stay!

My friends and I (4 of us) had a comfortable and pleasant stay in the apartment. There were many tools in the kitchen for us to cook, but unfortunately the oven was not working then.

Our only complaints would be that the doors were difficult to open (need some trial and error for the keys to fit into the locks) and we spotted a (dead) cockroach in the kitchen on our 2nd night.

This was our first trip to New York and it was very convenient for us to travel from the apartment to Manhatten - where we spent most of our time. On New Year's Eve, if you do not wish to spend your countdown in the crowded Times Square, Brooklyn's Prospect Park has its own NYE party and fireworks too!

It was a great overall experience for us :)
