I stayed with Alice for four months while working in NY. She is a fantastic host. Communication was great and easy. She always checked in to make sure everything was ok. When we had a snow storm she was out shoveling before I got a chance to do it. It is a basic basement apartment with a private entrance and parking. It is clean and quiet. The Jefferson stop for the L is two blocks away making it easy to get around the city. I would stay again when working in the city.
