ceilings are a bit low but that was no problem for me at all (5’5) it’s also just a bit hot in the basement, even with the fans. HOWEVER, andrew is an amazing host and answered all my questions very quickly any time they came up throughout my trip. the space is perfect size and all very clean and easy. right next to the subway so it wasn’t hard to get downtown at all! privacy wasn’t an issue at all either, neighbors were very friendly as well!
