Alice's home is clean, quaint and comfortable. Good mattresses in both bedrooms, new pillows and bed linens & a great shower (which truly is a big deal).
The back yard is a lovely green nook, with beautiful mature evergreens, potted plants and a bench. Nice spot for morning coffee. The house is minutes from Discovery Park, an oasis in the city.
Some small things were missing when we arrived: not enough ground coffee beans for more than one cup; no lamp in the living room, which made relaxing there in the evenings rather challenging; no laundry detergent or dryer sheets for the machines in the unit; a missing knob on the bathroom door.
Certainly not the end of the world, but it would help if Alice or her manager could commit to a more thorough restocking process before each new guest, making sure everything is available and in working condition.
Last thing that put a slight damper on our stay (through no fault of the host) was the amount of noise from the street below. It is a pretty busy thoroughfare, and was rarely quiet from early morning to night. Bring your earplugs if you plan to sleep in.
Wonderful house with a warm ambience. Alice's home is definitely a great value.
