Staying in Alicia house was good, neighborhood is nice, absolutely close to subway station and it really takes 20 mins to get in the middle of Manhattan with train 1 that passes really often.
Alicia was lovely from the very beginning when she wanted to know something about me (which I very much appreciated), and available to give me information.
The room is small but having half bathroom and independent entrance is really great. I didn't really use any other room because I stayed in the house only to sleep.
Only a little bit of noise at night for couple of nights, but Alicia wrote me in advance so I can't really say nothing.
