This basement is well located in a quiet neighborhood. There are some restaurants nearby and a supermarket in walking distance (10-15min) walk. The place is clean, but like the host said, sometimes sound does travel down from upstairs to downstairs. The beds are very soft.. a little too soft for me;) but this is a very personal thing. The hosts are very helpful and kind. Thank you for the kids book and toys! My son enjoyed playing with them!
