This home is very clean and they did leave coffee and water, also shower wash, shampoo and conditioner - which was all very nice. I was allowed to park in the driveway which was very useful.
However there were a few problems:
1. This is not an entire unit instead it is a unit within a home. The entrance is a side door on the main house which is shared with the upstairs main house which does not have a wall next to their front door so it is open and therefore shares all the noise from folks and cooking smells with the upstairs home. The entrance is also shared with another 2nd basement unit. You don't have your own entrance because you share the entrance with the home upstairs, and the second basement unit.
2. It's a basement unit with three 2 ft high windows total, so very little daylight. I didn't realize this was a basement unit from the posting.
3. Saturday evening after 9pm there was noise of a child running around above my bedroom, furniture being dragged and a party of people speaking loudly in Thai I believe. I emailed them at 9:37pm to say I couldn't sleep because there were men laughing loudly outside my window, and they replied it was trespassers. This was not the truth because there were 3 cars parked in their driveway and 1 parked in the street that evening, all gone by 5am when I left for the airport the next day. Also that evening at 9:30pm I opened my front door to our shared hallway and saw her guests talking loudly in the hallway in another language. It's a shame because I would not have written this negative review if they had just been honest and said sorry - but lying saying it's trespassers - that is not cool.
You can hear everything from the bed, someone using the restroom and a child learning to play the piano even after 8pm.
I did feel safe, and there's a nice Italian restaurant 1.5 blocks walking distance away however basically I would not stay here again and do not recommend this home.
