I needed an affordable place to sleep so I could attend a conference at Columbia. Alana's place was perfect in this regard: it's less than a 15 min walk from where I needed to be. The studio is cute and Alanah is super friendly and easy to get along with. Communication/check-in was easy. The noise from the street/firehouse wasn't too bad, though if you're a light sleeper earplugs and an eye-mask could be handy. Would definitely book Alanah's place again :)
