We'd really appropriate that Alice had us for couple days. The room was very private, quite, and safe as the description. However, we believe there is still a room for some improvements.
1. The water was very weak in shower. We actually spent twice amount of time in shower due to the water issue.
2. We were told that the heater wouldn't work right if we turned it up to over 78 degrees. However, the heater was not warm enough as we kept it at 78. We basically had to reply on the portable heater and heated blanket they provided during the night as the room was pretty cold during the night especially on the windy rainy nights.
3. The description said that they would provide the local landline. However, the phone in the room was not connected. We were not concerned about it until I lost my cellphone on the 1st day of the arrival in NYC. We believed Alice would love to provide their home phone to use if we had asked. Because it was late at night, we decided to deal it on our own.
4. We thought the house location was not very convenient for females. It was about 30 mins walk to nearest subway. It was hard for us to walk 30 mins from subway to home during the rainy windy night. Alice provided a very detailed bus route in the room. However, we heavily replied on Uber in and out as we calculated that it was only less than $2 different if we took Uber instead of buses for traveler of two.
