This spacious basement apartment might be good for a few days, but I would not recommend it for a long-term stay. The host was very kind and responsive, but did not give us any real check-in instructions. It was just “come to my apartment upstairs and I’ll tell you what to do”. We were never given check-out instructions either, and did not hear from them during/after our checkout process. We were given two bowls, two forks, and one spoon for our month-long stay. No plates, pots, pans, etc. I understand hosts not providing shampoo or conditioner, but there was no hand soap either. When we asked the host for soap, she said we could just go to a store and buy some, and then gave us a bottle of hand sanitizer. After a long day of travel, the last thing I wanted to do was venture out to a store and buy some soap just so I could use the bathroom. The master bedroom is two uncomfortable twin beds. The air conditioner was too small to fit in the window, so there was a gap that let in an uncomfortable amount of bugs. We ended up stuffing a towel in the gap because we were getting mosquito bites and we were worried a rat would come into our bedroom (the window is basically ground level since we were in the basement apartment). Because of this gap, the bed closest to the window had many dead bugs on it. A week before we left, I decided to borrow the host’s vacuum because our space was getting a bit dusty. When I returned the vacuum to the host’s son, he asked me why his mother hadn’t provided a cleaning service for us, and then said that I was entitled to ask for one. Unfortunately it was a bit too late as we were leaving in a few days. The neighborhood is very safe; young children play in the streets way past sunset. The apartment is less than 10 minutes away from the F train by foot, which was very convenient.
