this basement apartment was fantastic. we stayed there for about a month, so we really got to know the place. the location and walkable vicinity to downtown was probably the best part. There were also some coffee shops and food places around the corner(ish) that were delicious and convenient. The kitchen had the basics for cooking which we appreciated.
the upstairs was rented to different folks throughout our stay. most were quiet, a few were occasionally loud, but overall the footsteps overhead didn't bother us, and people are out and about most the days anyway. the yard was awesome for our dog to run around.
Only thing that might be a concern for someone is the size of the bed. It's a short full or queen and while it fits the back room perfectly, it might be short for some people. I'm 5 foot 2 so no problem here, but my 6 ft partner didn't like it. There is a comfortable futon in the front room that is longer, so some nights he crashed out there.
overall, awesome place definitely recommend!!
