I had only a few short conversations and a cup of tea with Veronique. She went to work each morning before I got up and I returned after she went to bed. She was friendly and helpful, gave me some suggestions of a museum and places to eat in the neighborhood. Even at my check out to next host (couldn't stay all my days due to another guest's prior booking) she said to contact her if I need to know something about the city. She gave me a tour of her place and wifi password upon my arrival. Licorice the cat is very friendly and will sleep next to you in the morning if you leave your door cracked.
The bed is big enough for two people. The room has several lamps and fans and a window ac unit but the temp was comfortable without them. It also has an ironing board, iron and yoga mat. There is good water pressure in the shower and it drains well, no pools of water around your ankles. It is 2-3 blocks from the subway and even closer to a pizza place with $1 cheese slices before 10pm.
It's a great place for the price in the city!
