Alicia's place was quite comfortable, and she was a terrific host. She thought of what I might need; for example, made sure I knew rain was coming one day and that I could take one of the spare umbrellas next to the door, but was not at all obtrusive. Close to the M train, and there are many stores, restaurants, coffee shops in the neighborhood. The room faces a back yard and is quite quiet. The queen-sized bed is very comfortable. I stayed for several days - was helping my son who lives nearby who had just had surgery, so I spent most of my time with him, then was able to come back to Alicia's each night for a shower and a great rest.
