The space is much more makeshift than was expected. There is a furnace and water heater right next to the unit (only separated by an interior door). The furnace/water heater won’t wake you up unless you’re a light sleeper, but they do create noise and a bit of a smell. The stairs to the unit are narrow and steep, quite dangerous if it is raining. There is also a dryer exhaust that blows in your face when you walk the stairs.
