Aliza is very nice! She has lived in this area for a very long time with her family, so she knows the ins and outs. The host keeps the house very clean. She is super artsy + health conscious and loves to have a lot of conversations with you. And will even share her special tests with you! Sometimes she has guests or family over and will let you know in advance if she needs privacy. Make sure to know all of her specific house rules before booking a bedroom. It was not very clear or detailed on the first day which caused some clashes, but it was finally explained after a week. Just ask a lot of questions before booking to see if it suits you.
The neighborhood itself is beautiful and vibrant. However, it is a very noisy neighborhood. People play loud music and have loud parties on the streets and back of house from evening to after midnight on the weekends. The weekdays are usually okay with occasional low music outside.
The wifi works fine, but the signals upstairs are medium strength. Due to this, my zoom calls were very unstable and often dsconnected. I had to work downstairs for strong signals because I teach kids online. Aliza also works downstairs sometimes and also goes outside for work. You're not really allowed to work downstairs so she wasn't happy about me doing that. But she made an exception for me because I am a teacher and need to be on class with the kids.
Aliza is very communicative so just have a good talk with her before booking! And she is very kind. :)
