It is really amazing and impressive what Kymi has managed to do with a basement/garage area. I really liked it and would definitely stay there again.
I only met Kymi briefly, but she was very pleasant, and she responded to most communication in a timely manner. I had no problems during my stay, other than a brief wifi problem the first night, but she quickly directed me to another wifi connection, which worked great.
About the space - you enter through the downstairs back door of the house. Upon entering, you are in a general basement area / laundry room, and to your left is a (locked) door to the room / studio apartment. You get a key to the outside door, and another to the door to the room, so you can be assured of security and privacy.
The area is exactly as pictured and consists of a living area, a sleeping area, and a bathroom. The living area and sleeping area are separated by a mid-height wall, making the sleeping area cozy, yet not claustrophobic.
The floors in the living area and sleeping area are almost completely covered by carpeting and/or area rugs. The room has a portable space heater in case you get chilly (with safety features that turn it off if it tips over), a mini fridge, a washer and dryer in the basement right outside the room, and i believe there was a microwave oven there, as well. The bathroom is truly great - the tub is one of those old claw foot tubs with a sprayer attachment and a metal, tub-mounted tray for toiletries and such.
One of the greatest features, in my opinion, is the presence of little things that you might not have or even thing to ask for - for instance, there is a selection of books above the bed, coffee and water above the mini fridge, travel-size shampoo and conditioner, bath gel / lotion, and a bunch of other little things that I can't think of at the moment.
The neighborhood is cute and i felt completely safe walking around at night. Stores and restaurants were only a short walk away. I mostly traveled using Uber and Lyft, but the one time I took bart, I believe it was about 10-12 blocks - and didn't take nearly as long as I would have expected to walk.
I'd definitely stay here again, without hesitation.
