Aliza's home is truly beautiful and she is an exceptionally kind person. With my hectic work schedule, I didn't cross paths with her as much as I thought I would, but every interaction we did have was a delight. She's very friendly and knowledgeable, and I enjoyed chatting with her about her experiences around the world.
As for her house, it's a beautiful brownstone in BedStuy near the A/C/J/Z lines. The location is great for anyone needing to get to downtown Brooklyn or lower Manhattan frequently for work. I had a private room which was quite comfortable with a desk, single bed, and closet. I shared a pretty bathroom with one other guest. Her kitchen is a lot of fun to cook in and her living room is very pretty and sunny. There's some good grocery stores within a block or so and many restaurants and bars nearby. I was surprised how quiet it was, having lived in NYC for nearly a decade, so I never needed ear plugs or anything. Had a great experience and I would definitely recommend staying with Aliza!
