The basement apartment was a great space, and good value. Very clean and well organised. Some more amenities in the kitchen area (sponge for dishes, drying rack) would have been a good addition. Lori was mostly a very gracious host, however a lack of information in the apartment about house rules and processes would have made our stay more comfortable for both us and Lori. Information about sound levels of the tv at night, and close by shops (supermarket, restaraunts etc.) would have been much appreciated. The only issue we encountered is that Lori entered the room without knocking at the time of check out to inform us that the cleaners had already arrived. A grace period to physically get everything out of the room given that we had 7 heavy bags between two people would have been appreciated, and expected.
