The space has been refinished fairly recently and is accurately depicted in the online photos. Appliances work as expected; there is a good feeling of space. Getting in and out were very smooth and easy.
It's a basement!! So compared to the same size space above grade, that means it's relatively dark, dampish, and cool. The apartment feels private, but one is aware of there being activity upstairs. Almost none of that activity bothered us in any way. The street is quiet and tree-lined, opposite a school. Easy access to shopping and restaurants, Capitol Hill, public transit.
