I stayed here for almost two weeks and it was very comfortable, in terms of the location and the place itself.
I had some issues with the check in, I waited for almost 2 hours outside the place because I wasn't able to contact Anderson, but it was due to a health issue she had right in that moment, so of course I understand. The room was tidy and well illuminated, the space was perfect for me alone, the fridge and microwave in the room was very nice. Her cats are adorable.
I think it wasn't so clean outside the room in common areas, and considering you can't use your shoes inside the place, that wasn't so nice for my socks. The worst place in terms of cleaning was the living room: there were a lot of times I saw cat poop on the carpet. But, again, I assume this issue can be due to Anderson not being in perfect health, and still recovering for it, so I totally get that maybe cleaning wasn't a main consideration. It's because of the same reason that I can't say anything about Anderson's hospitality and all the marvelous things I read in the majority of the reviews, because I really never even saw her, which makes me sad. She seems to be a very nice and interesting person.
Some considerations: stairs. The place is located in a second floor, but when you pass the door, there's still another stairs to pass. I had an ankle injury two days before I left, and it was a challenge to get out with my luggage. Secondly, there's no 12 minutes walk to the subway station. It's more like 17-20 min walking, but there are some bus stops quite near to get to subway stations. Lastly, there's a leak on the window on top of the room so consider it if you are planning to go on a rainy season, because you are going to have to use a bucket for it.
Overall: comfortable, very good for the price, safe location and decent distance to the subway.
