I had some issues with this stay. There was a great deal of noise from the plumbing and a frequent 'knocking' sound, the source of which I was not certain (sounded like it was coming from the fridge). In fact, the plumbing sounds were loud enough to wake me from a dead sleep several times. Another issue I had was that the wifi was so slow I couldn't stream Netflix (literally had to set up a wifi hot-spot with my phone... pretty ridiculous). Also, the apartment was both cold and damp. I knew it was a basement apartment but I still expected it to have a more finished feel than it did. Another issue was that the door that leads to the shared laundry room is not like a steel door or anything, just particleboard, and so you don't have sound privacy. Furthermore, there was work being done on the apartment sink when I arrived that I felt should have been completed before my check-in time (or at least I should have been notified in advance). Also, the host failed to correctly program the keyless entry lock so the passcode I was given did not work at first. Also, at one point the battery to the lock died and we got locked out so some more style points were lost there. Between the apartment being cold and noisy we were so uncomfortable that we left a day early rather than spend another night. However, I will say the apartment is in a beautiful area and the host was fine. If you're not super picky and you like the price this place might be for you.
