Alys was great- awesome communication. It was like staying with an old friend; available if you needed her and friendly and comfortable to be around and gave you space as well. She has two lovely, VERY friendly cats. Room was small but perfect for my needs with AC to keep it cool to the arctic temps I like when I sleep. The bathroom was AMAZING. She gave me access to her kitchen/fridge as well, no microwave available though. Ample street parking. I would love to stay with Alys again :)
