I ended up staying in the top-floor apartment rather than the basement since the basement was unavailable, so I can't speak to the particulars of the basement space. However, the apartment I did stay in was really perfect - plenty of space, a very comfortable bed, very clean. The shower even had a very consistent temperature and good pressure, which are hard to find in older buildings. Beatrice was very welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed. I would happily return and I'm sure any unit she rents would be great too.
