Easy communication with host for check in and check out.
Kitchen has only one outlet (with two plugs) on the island although there is a microwave, toaster, coffee maker and water boiler. Coffee maker has to sit on top of the microwave to be used. The "living room" area couch is not a couch at all, but a day bed. Not comfortable to sit on as a couch - back rest is too low and sitting area is too wide. If it were used as a bed, there would be zero privacy.
Location convenient to bus line. Significant bus ride to activities, but cheaper rent than other areas. This is a basement apartment which means noise from above is audible. A bit awkward to enter and leave when the family is in the yard or on the patio.
