Alison is a good host, she was flexible with check-in and tried to be helpful when she was around. She is also very discreet, you barely feel her presence and we felt very comfortable staying with her.
The space was ok and as described, in a quiet neighborhood with nothing much to see but very close to the subway station.
The room and sheets were clean but the only thing that bothered us was the numerous flies especially in the bathroom during the day and for that we tried to keep the windows closed as much as we could. But overall it was a good experience.
