I stayed with Trish for two weeks in July and i must say it was great! The room was big and nicely decorated. There was a bed in the floor which i preferred and it was quite comfortable. The deck was nice but a little dusty, so i didn't spent to much time there, although i must say it is perfect in the morning for having breakfast. The shared bathroom and kitchen were clean. The kitchen has all you could need to cook and Trish left some space in the cupboards and fridge for me. Also she provided towels and left a big closet in the corridor for me to use. There is a fan in the room which was great for the hot summer nights.
The neighbourhood was quiet and i found the houses and buildings nearby charming, it's a nice place (not at all scary even at night) and the building is a 5 min walk from the subway and 25-30 min ride to manhattan. It is an old building without an elevator but you only need to go up one floor. There were some restaurants and grocery shops nearby.
Overall Trish was a great host! She was really nice with me during my stay. We didn't get to talk much because i was out a lot but when we did she was really helpful and easy to talk to. During my stay i lost the keys to the apartment which made me really nervous and she kindly gave me another set.
I would highly recomend staying with Trish!
