In general, this basement apartment is a good value for dollars we paid and location is great. Communication with hosts is excellent and Blink camera at the entrance adds additional security.
Although, I have to share some things that might help families with kids in their selection.
1) large sofa is broken and can’t be converted to bed. It was not mentioned in description and we won’t put kids on inflatable mattress on the basement floor. We’ve seen one centipede there.
2) tenants at the top DO NOT CARE about your sleep. They are very loud till midnight and start literally jumping on the floor at 5AM
3) some odd smell in the kitchen and living room, flavoured with aroma warmers in receptacles is unpleasant.
Overall, if we were without kids, for the price paid, I would be happy. But with kids (we have 2), we had some challenges.
