Alison was a very welcoming and precise host. Renting a place in New York can be tricky with all of the security features necessary but she made it super easy. Our bus was late and Alison was very accommodating. Her room and the bathroom were super clean and tidy, and it was perfect for staying a couple of nights, getting a good night's rest and wandering around Manhattan/Brooklyn. She is about a block from the Hewes St. Subway which is super convenient and about a 20 minute walk from the trendy North Williamsburg.
