I didnt realize it was a basement apartment. so it was dark and the only way to get fresh air was leaving the door open. There is a screen but it was slightly lifted so bugs got in and the top part of the screen was slightly bent etc. thus we kept the door closed. it served its purpose. its shabby construction and we had a few garden roomates aka centipedes and spiders but nothing horrible. Roscoe was very freindly and responded with haste when asked anything. there was a storm and water flooded the corner of the bedroom but we were compensated by a discounted rate. i think for a short stay itll due but i wouldnt suggest long stays like ours.
