We were able to book Kalana's place only a few weeks before our trip, as our original booking cancelled rather late. Kalana was friendly and provided clear communication. The place was conveniently located, with a subway in about a 15 minute walk. Also noteworthy is the place has great air conditioning, which came in handy with the hot temperatures during our stay. The place has a lot of nice amenities, e.g fully equipped kitchen, nice big screen television with Apple TV, Dyson fan. It is also decorated quite nicely. Some minor inconveniences were a lack of storage space (e.g. if you bring a lot of clothes and want to keep them on a hanger), some loud neighbors (mostly during the weekend) and a barking dog in the building. Then again, this is Brooklyn/New York City, so if these are the only noises that could bother you, you can still consider this a really good deal (the area overall was nice and rather quiet).
Overall, a good experience and a very reasonable price.
