The basement flat was ideal for us as it was very close to where our daughter lives. The bedroom was spacious and comfortable. It was quiet considering it faced a very busy road. As it is in a basement, the bedroom windows faced concrete and did not open. This was not an issue for us as we literally only slept there. The bathroom was a good size and just over the hall to the bedroom. We did not get to see our host Max unfortunately but he always replied promptly to any communications.
