Katy's basement apartment is in a lovely neighborhood. The apartment was very clean and was well equipped with microwave, coffee maker, toaster, TV, ample closet space and good lighting. Just 2 short blocks to a great food market but Katy had a variety of breakfast and snack items on hand to "get us started". We actually spent little time there during the day, but the space was comfortable for two people with a rocker and table and chairs for a work space. It was really more cozy than the internet pictures portrayed. We had no difficulty finding street parking. We were glad that we had a private entrance so we did not need to disturb the family with our coming/going.
