Brigida keeps a very clean home and the room was fine. Description was accurate that kitchen use was not included so I appreciated the mini fridge and TV table tray. I did bring my own electric kettle and she was nice to offer filtered drinking water on tap in her kitchen and to wash out my coffee press. I may have missed this however: its a 4-story walk up no elevator. I had one big suitcase so I had to figure out leaving it below and walking up with my carryons then going down to fetch it. I think the listing should say more prominent "fourth story walk up, no elevator .. call us ahead of time and let us help you with your luggage" or something like that. The building is double locked and secure and clean which is great - but not knowing the area, it would be nice to plan that little arrival piece! Noise factor so-so since the old floors creak upstairs unit above, and can wake you up if you're a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. I felt warm, safe and enjoyed Dominican food!
