Ali's place is an incredible value to stay in a great part of Williamsburg. The space has artistic decorations, big windows, and high ceilings. Ali was responsive over text, and offered flexibility with my arrival and departure time. Ali also kindly set up her keyboard for my stay (I'm a pianist and piano teacher). She helped me retrieve a package I left there... overall just really helpful and accommodating.
One important note is that one should really be a cat lover to get the most out of this stay, and know there is some responsibility towards the cat. SweetPea is affectionate and good tempered, but expect her to share the bed with you and leave a good amount of hair on the blanket. Though I was quite busy during my stay, I felt it was important to provide SweetPea with some exercise and stimulation (in addition to twice daily feeding), so I took time to play with her. I accidentally closed the door to the bedroom where we were sleeping on the first night, not realizing she then couldn't get to her water / litterbox, this resulted in her insistently meowing me awake at 5am, after which I couldn't easily fall back asleep. For real cat lovers, this stuff will be easier and probably really rewarding, a bonus. I imagine the price is a bit lower on this nice place because it involves cat sitting.
Overall, I had a great stay, and I would happily return on my next visit to NYC.
