Michelle's concept for this air bnb seems to be a home away from home and she went above and beyond to achieve this effect. It's extremely cozy and really feels warm and comfortable with numerous small touches ranging from the artificial fire place that provides heating to the availability of books and puzzles as well as small notes left by her. It has good sunlight for a basement apartment and has good artificial lighting as well. You can make the place bright with overhead lights or use the hanging lamp to make it feel calm and cozy. The neighborhood is quaint. Check in and check out is extremely easy and Michelle made it known that she was there if we needed anything at all. She left a wide selection of snacks in the fridge and pantry and provided take out menues for places in the area.
