If you are looking for a lovely basement space that isn't gloomy and has some really nice touches, please consider Joe and Pooja's place. They spent a great amount of care and detail into their basement space for a short or longer stay.
The parking spot inside a garage is PRICELESS and the keyless entry for both the garage door and basement space is great for checking in/out without having to bother them or make sure they're around.
The space is well lit for a basement apartment by both natural light and pot lighting. The bedroom was comfy with a nice bed, nice sheets and duvet set. The bedroom set includes a full frame and night table. There's a nice size closet where you can hang clothing if need be (and an iron if you're so inclined). The kitchenette offers a small sink, a lovely Keurig and k-cups for your coffee fix, a microwave for your convenience, tableware for 4 and even wine glasses; so it's definitely built to entertain a small group if you like. The living room has a futon and an L shaped sofa, so you could certainly host a few folks comfortably. The TV is a great size and Roku was available for guest use. There was also an Xbox and a few popular games for those who like that. The bathroom was beautifully decorated offering all you need. For those who prefer to read, they had a nice little bookshelf with a collection of novels. And if you have work to do, there's a small desk perfectly set up for your laptop.
The decor was beautiful. White Ceramic floors with grey walls and black touches throughout. A splash of color on the walls with art. It was really quite lovely. You can hear the family upstairs, but I think that's to be expected in a basement apartment. Hopefully we didn't disturb one another too much.
I look forward to staying with them again.
