Alice was a great host. Very kind, understanding, and helpful. We arrived a full day late for check-in, and she welcomed us like we arrived right on time. Upon arrival, she invited us into her home for lemonade, and gave us the tour of our space.

PROS:

The studio is a good size studio. It's actually pretty big. It's on the bottom level of the house and aside from an occasional cat jump or two, we could barely hear anything up top. Very quiet.

Lots of storage in the space and a definite plus to have a fridge, hot plate, and things to cook with!!!! Thank you!

WIFI IS FAST!

Right outside the studio's front door is a bench. It's real cute. Like your own lil' front yard.

It's a very convenient neighborhood. The laundromat is barely a block away. There's a natural food store about 3 blocks away, and another grocery store about 4 blocks away. The L train is 3 blocks away as well.

Very good places to eat. We frequented Desi Grill a bit, and a little taqueria on Starr St.! Actually, we went to the taqueria a lot! Very good, and affordable. We had good sushi at Akaru Sushi on Wyckoffe and Harman.

Alice was open to any suggestions we had about how she could improve the space. You can tell she really cares about her guests and making their stay comfortable!

CONS:

The bed is actually more like a futon bed. So, it wasn't the greatest for my husband's occasional back problems. He spent 50% of the stay on the couch. The couch is very comfy. I spent a couple nights on it myself.

Not much natural daylight. It is in a basement after all. Ehhh, it ended up being a thing for us. Sometimes it's just nice to have.

ALLERGY ALERT:

Alice keeps the cats out of the studio, and because of that, my husband didn't think it would be a problem for his allergies. Somehow, it still was a problem even without full exposure to the lovely animals.
If you have allergies, think twice. It's a lovely thing that Alice rescues the cats, but sometimes there's no avoiding some missed cat hairs, or the scent. Both things that set off his allergies. Alice did her very best to help us though. She bought us new cleaning supplies, purified the air, immediately re-washed our sheets and gave them to us straight out of the dryer.

Overall, Alice provides a great space :) We were glad to have met her as well.

THANK YOU ALICE!
