They weren't kidding about being in a basement, but don't let that deter you! It had everything we needed for our stay. There was hardly any natural light, but both of us like to sleep in the dark without the sun waking us up, so that worked in our favor. We were only there to sleep. However, if you crave natural light, this won't be the place for you. You do have to buy a temporary parking permit to park on the street. However, the process was very easy online and my car was fine the whole time. No break ins. Place is in a residential area and a 5 minute walk from the metro station. Metro is cash only FYI unless you buy a day pass.
