Amazing basement apartment! Has everything needed and beyond - from washing machine to cooking equipment. Heating is controlled from above, but Mike&Kathryn very really quick on responses to change it. Great location - close to metro, 7-11, kids playground. 15 min to mall. Only one thing - you do hear everything going on upstairs and every creak of the step above you. But it's super quiet from 10 pm till 7 am. Mike&Kathryn provide white noise machine and earplugs, which didn't helped us unfortunately. Overall would recommend!
