Karl is a great host. The apartment description is overall correct.
Pros:
- clean apartment
- private entry
- washer/dryer
- bright, dimmable lights
- nice living room with netflix
- great neighborhood
- great location for transportation
Cons:
- noise from people above (which may be similar with other basement apartments)
- noise from heater furnace next to the bedroom (separated by a ventilating door). This may not be an issue if the weather gets warmer. You may also consider sleeping in the living room.
- loud noise from some water drain, electric pump (not sure) lasting about 3 seconds at random times.
I informed Karl about the noise and he is going to do his best to make the place more comfortable.
