The basement apartment is clean and stylishly decorated. The kitchen is well stocked and usable. We stayed here a couple of nights while visiting family in the area. There's a dedicated spot for parking and the apartment has it's own private entrace so it was very convenient.
There were a couple of minor tradeoffs. The ceilings are low so if you're taller than 5' 11'' you will hit your head on the beams. Also the bathroom is very small. The biggest issue we had was with sound from upstairs - the floors are very creaky and if someone is up during the night it will wake you. We used ear plugs the second night and it took care of that.
Otherwise, very good value for money and would be happy to stay here again.
