Janet's place works well if you'd like to stay in this terrific, incredibly convenient neighborhood (right near the Belmont station, where three lines run).
The highlight of the apartment is by far the private bathroom -- it's really beautiful and nice. Janet's dog Oliver is a welcoming mellow sweetheart. Janet also provided some great snacks in the room, something I have barely seen Airbnb hosts do. Access to the kitchen was welcome, although I barely used it. WiFi worked perfectly. And again, you can't beat the location. The porch has a great view of the neighborhood and the el trains.
There are couple of caveats worth mentioning:
1) You're sleeping on a queen-sized pullout couch, not a bed. It's fine.
2) It is important to be discreet when your host is around, as she seems to like listening in on conversations (and admits as much).
3) Janet does not believe in locking the front door of the apartment -- she thinks keys are problematic. I had no problems -- it certainly made going in and out easy. Her building seems very nice. But you should be aware that this is how the apartment itself is run.
