Melissa’s description and the previos reviews do a good job in preparing you on what to expect. The location is safe and convenient. The “English basement” is somewhat devoid of sunlight but if you don’t plan to spend all your time indoors is not too bad. Yes, you can hear steps above in the morning but we didn’t really mind them. The host and her husband were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay and the space met our needs for the week.
