I had a pleasant stay at Alison's, the room was private, comfortable and had nice decor. Private bathroom was a nice bonus! The shower downstairs was also a nice private option, though my hosts did offer use of the upstairs shower if I prefer. The location is residential and I felt safe. It was about a mile walk to a very interesting Hmong market/village. Otherwise driving/Uber would be necessary to get more into the city center. Great value for the stay, thanks!
