My husband and me spent 3 months at Allen’s place. The neighborhood is ok and the building is very nice. Allen is a nice person who likes to share time and food with his guests, and very accommodating with requests. He also accepted to host two friends of us for few nights for free. However, the apartment is not the one shown in the pictures (they seem to be from another apartment from the same building). The apartment is less clean than what we expected compared with other experiences we had in the US. We didn’t like dirty kitchenware left around and in the sink for days, clothes and other stuff left on the floor in the common areas that made hard our attempts to clean around. If you don’t mind a massy place, we can recommend you Allen’s place for short stays, 14 days at most, but definitely not for long terms. If we had to stay there longer we would probably have looked for a different solution.
