This stay is in a basement. You can’t cook but there’s a kitchen area with no stove. You might want to clean a bit before you settle in but nothing too worrisome. It’s a great deal and private. Security is great. Everything has passcode locks. Detergent is provided for the washer. And the dryer is a newer brand. It’s great for students, definitely more private and cleaner. The room is a good size too. There’s no window for ventilation.
