Anyone booking this place should feel comfortable, as the apartment looks exactly as it is advertised. Anja is a super host who is incredibly accommodating and quick to answer any questions you might have. For travels familiar with city living, the proximity to the subway is not a deterrent to a comfortable stay. The convenience of having numerous transit options, literally right out the door, more than compensates for any perceived noise concerns. Mattress and bedding are top notch and also make for an enjoyable sleep. I would highly recommend Anja's basement apartment.
