We recommend this room for short stays, but it is really not equipped for stays over 1 week in length.

Why?
My friend and I leased this room for one month during a collegiate summer internship. Upon arrival, Ali was very welcoming, the room (smaller than anticipated) was clean, and she offered neighborhood advice which was very helpful. Within the hour, Ali left town and failed to mention the additional guest, a fully grown man, who was sharing the upstairs bathroom that had been advertised as for our sole use. Upstairs kitchen use is limited at best; Ali prefers that you wash any dishes in the downstairs pedestal sink. Given our longer stay she offered to wash our dishes, but soon retracted the offer and allowed us to use the upstairs sink instead. After the unexpected additional tenant (who stayed for over 1 week) had left, we encountered a few more issues including a leak in the basement wall and various large bugs (centipedes, spiders, and cockroaches). Ali also got a dog and started a vintage shop in the living room during our stay which we didn't mind, but was not mentioned in the ad. The addition of the dog also means there will be poop on the pavement in the advertised back garden. Another item of note is that the door separating the rented basement from the main floor is an accordion door with no acoustic insulation. Do not expect to have a private conversation or cell reception. Ali did provide first day gifts so that we did not have to immediately go to the grocery store which was very kind! And she allowed us to use the washer/dryer for our extended stay. The location is great and Ali and her son are both very nice hosts!
