The whole floor, where the room is, was fairly recently renovated it seems. This gives a fresh feel to it. The rest of the house is beautiful but really boheme like. The locks work well, the lights are bright. Only thing I would tell a potential guest is that the room is really small and is located at the bottom end of the basement floor. There's a small window to a light well that's gated. Basically if you are clostrauphobic, forget about it!
