This apartment is exactly as nice as the other reviews indicate. Artistically decorated in cheery tones, incredible amount of space, great kitchen with all the amenities, and - yes, a fabulous shower. I'm usually leery of basement apartment, but this one has high ceilings and plenty of light. The location is perfect and very close to shopping and public transportation. Hosts were very responsive and friendly. Who could ask for more? Excellent space for the price.
