IT IS NOT THE ENTIRE/APARTMENT HOUSE. It's the third floor of the house, and you go through their living space to get there. There's a door at the top of the stairs (glass, no lock), but sound travels badly. I got stuck listening to things I really wish I hadn't heard. It may be reasonable value, compared to the English basements in the same area/price range, but was not at all what I was expecting/wanted from the description.
