I stayed in Alice's place for a few months after first moving to NYC, and I really can't recommend it enough! First off, you really can't beat this place in terms of value - it's a 7 minute walk from the L to Manhattan, is in a great area in Brooklyn with lots of restaurants, grocery stores, etc., and the space is basically a nicely maintained studio apartment with its own bathroom, private entrance, mini-kitchen, and window AC. The bed is really comfortable and there's a desk, coffee table, chairs, fridge, dresser, iron, pots, pans, utensils, etc. Drop-off laundry service is a 3 minute walk away. Internet is fast, and the place is really quiet at night. I also felt really safe in the neighborhood, even when coming home late at night.
Second, Alice is an amazing host! My whole time there she was always really responsive, making sure I was comfortable and answering any questions I had. She let me know when there would be work on the house, etc. and made sure it wouldn't interfere with my work/sleep schedule. She was also really respectful of my privacy and always asked in advance if she needed to enter the apartment. Plus she's just a genuinely pleasant person to talk to!
Some things to be aware of (non-issues for me but everyone is different):
1. It is a converted (finished) basement space, so no floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the skyline.
2. There are cats around outside so if you have really bad allergies that could be a concern (the cats don't come in the apartment and they are very friendly).
3. The kitchenette is fine for minor cooking but don't expect to launch your Michelin starred career there.
If you stay here (which you should!) I recommend checking out the tacos at Los Hermanos (5 minute walk towards the subway on Starr Street) or for weekend brunch walking to Le Garage (20 minute walk down Suydam Street).
