Alex was a very warm and welcoming host. Her love for the Williamsburg neighourhood was infectious; she always has recommendations for places to go and things to do. There's a great oyster bar just 10 min walk away! The L-line subway station is less than 5 min away, so it's really convenient to get to Manhattan! The train rumblings sound like thunder, so for light sleepers it may be a problem.

The apartment is somewhat cluttered, and being a loft with high ceilings, is difficult to heat in winter. She provides a space heater for the room.
