I didn't get an opportunity to meet Alison, but her partner showed me around when I arrived and they had been flexible with arrival time etc. The room is just as in the picture, enormous, clean and and very comfortable (great bed). There were two other rooms being rented out, as well as the hosts, so it feels a bit more like a guesthouse or hostel than other airbnb experiences I've had. Be aware that there are two cats and they were around a lot, so if you're not a cat fan... House is in a great location - quiet street in a vibrant area and well connected by PT. I just needed a place to crash for a couple of days so this suited me well.
