Aquila is a very warm and welcoming host. I didn't see her very much during my stay as I was always out and about, but the night of my arrival she treated me to a very nice homecooked meal.
The room in itself is very simple but confortable. The bathroom is shared with other guests that might be renting other rooms in the house so do keep that in mind if you really want privacy and space.
The 420 thing wasn't an issue for me but it does smell pretty strong even in the rooms so you'd have to be okay with that.
If you are staying for a place to use as home base when traveling to nyc/brooklyn and plan on being out most the time like I did then it is a very nice choice
