I stayed 2 months at Aliza's house for an internship in Manhattan. Her environment was definitely homey and comfortable and I adapted really quickly to living in New York thanks to that. I knew I would be back every night to a beautiful, clean and welcoming house. The room is spacious with a comfortable and large bed, and there's definitely enough storage for a long stay. The bathroom is very nice as well, shared only with the person renting the other room upstairs.
Utica station for A/C lines is a 10 minute walk but for cold or rainy days there's a bus stop nearby that will take you there in 2 minutes. The neighbourhood is nice and friendly, I was never worried even at night.
Respect the house and Aliza will be the motherly figure that someone young going far from home might need. She is very caring and attentive to your well being, she will make you feel at home for sure. Her daughter is so nice too. Thank you so so much again :)
