Alicia is quite friendly and sweet. I read from some articles that people in new york tend to be cold, distancing themselves from others. But that is not the story in this house. She makes me feel like at home. First, I have my personal space in a lovely little room. Though it's a bit small, i get to have my own bathroom, well half-bathroom. If you are on a budget trip in New York, normally you will end up staying in a very tiny room in some hotel and having to share the bathroom with others. But in Alicia's house, artistic elements are everywhere, paintings, sculptures, and decorations. That's a highlight, at least for me, separating her house from others. Last but not least, Alicia is a good listener and i love having conversation with her. She's also ready to help me with my traveling concerns. This is my time trying on Airbnb and i definitely had a great time.
