Tom and Adam have a very nice place. Exactly as advertised and as shown in pics. They are both very nice people and communicated early and often with us.
They are clear in their description that it is a basement apartment and that they live upstairs. They are also *very* quiet in their own home. With that said, you can hear quite a bit of their normal day-to-day life. This didn't bother us, but some folks are a bit more sensitive to AM and/or PM noise than us.
Bottom line: we'd stay with them again without second thought.
