Alice was a wonderful host and her place was great for our week-long stay. The place pretty much looks like what you see in the pictures and has plenty of privacy though she stays in the same building. Alice was not always around but responded promptly through text message and was very considerate throughout our stay. Having our own private entrance was a nice touch because it meant we didn't need to bother her unless we really needed something :). The L train was a short 6-minute walk away and only a few stops away from Williamsburg and Manhattan where we spent most of our time. The room was very well furnished with a large queen sized bed and conveniently had a pull out couch (though we never used it). The kitchenette was extremely useful (furnished with plenty of dishware, a small fridge, microwave and stovetop). The wifi signal was fast and strong and mainly used that along with wifi for any type of entertainment when we were in the room. I am so happy we had our own bathroom to shower after walking all day in NY (experienced a few very humid days). Though I have stayed in other airbnbs that my friends have booked before, Alice was my very own first airbnb host and I hope this experience with her represents a good indication of all hosts I stay with in the future. Definitely recommend!
