Nicky's basement apartment was as advertised. Our family of 4 stayed there for a few nights. It was close to downtown, which was nice. The neighborhood was a mixture of some well-kept homes/apts and some run-down ones. The only reason I gave this a 3 overall was because each night at around midnight some equipment switched on in the furnace room near the bedroom and stayed on for about 5 minutes. The noise was loud and high-pitched and made me wonder the first night if it was an alarm and if I needed to wake the kids up and evacuate. The fold-out sofa/futons are fine for our kids who occasionally sleep on the hard floor, but an adult would be uncomfortable. The bed in the bedroom was fine.
