Alice was a very responsive and considerate host. She is a very quick to respond to all emails and messages. She gave clear, detailed directions for our arrival. My husband and I loved having our own place to come home to while staying in New York, and were thrilled to have a parking spot off the street. This apartment is exactly as pictured, it was clean and quiet. There is no television as stated in the description but that is not a problem because she has good internet service. We did not cook while we were there, though it was definitely possible because she has a little cooktop and a few pans.

We felt safe making the 5 min walk to the subway, though I might have been worried if I was by myself, because there is alot of graffiti in the neighborhood. But after walking it a few times I realized it wasn't bad.

Alice gives you all the privacy you want, I think we could have stayed the whole time without meeting her, but we asked to meet her and I was so glad we did. She such a nice person, I know if I we lived closer we would be good friends! This was my first airbnb experience and it was everything I hoped it would be!
