The basement apartment I used to live in was very clean and quite. Whenever I had an issue with something Kim helped me out!
When you’re working in the downtown area the place is kinda far away, it takes you about 1 1/2 hours by public transit and 45 Min. by car. Grocery stores are really close by and also walkable from the home. One of the negative things was that the stove didn’t had a range hood so all the cooking smells kinda got stuck in the apartment. The bathroom just got renovated, but had a small piece left which took all of the 3 weeks I stayed there and still isn’t finished yet...
All in all I enjoyed the quietness and cleanliness of the housing but there is some stuff to work on!
